I submitted my application to one where I do not currently meet the income requirement.
However, I am expecting a raise, in a month or two, and I will meet the minimum income range requirement.

To clarify-- my application says that I do not meet the minimum income, but by the time
I get call in for an interview, I will meet the requirement.

Do you think I should not have applied? Will it automatically disqualify me?

Thank you

Look the general application you fill out are suppose to be to the best of your knowledgement. Theres no real way to know what you will be making when and if you are called. I've been called for apts 2-3 years after i submit.
I also freelance so I never know what my income will be, I take a guess based upon my history of what I make yearly. There is no way possible for me to actually know what I will make. What matters is when they do call you in for an interview that you are in the correct income range. Until that happens don't worry about it.

You will only get disqualified if your income exceeds or is under at the time of your intake interview, and then 3 months later if apartments are not available. If you are in the running they will ask for updated income info and if you fall between the range you are still good, but if you are making too much money at the point, yeah you're out. That is fair.

They can reject you if what you have on your online profile is out of date, so keep it maintained the second it changes in your favor. If they reject you and you can prove the correct income, then you have to appeal and go through the process to get them to look at your stuff.

You should keep you income up to date yes thats true. However once you submit the application it goes by what you submitted it as. The changes won't register so to be honest if your able to its best to put what you think your income will when the lottery is closed and calling people.
For example if you make 20k now but you know in a month you will get a 5k raise just submit the application as 25k cause the won't be calling you in the next month.

You will neither be called nor interviewed. That happened to me with the 461 Dean Street lottery. I did not update my income to reflect a promotion I received, and submitted the application that way. When log numbers came out, I was only 9xx, and never received a call, meanwhile, others with log numbers much higher did.

That's not always what happens. My friend submitted for a lottery, and the income she had on her application was about $3,000 less a year than what was called for.

She received a letter saying she didn't qualify, and if she wanted to appeal, she had a certain period of time to do that. She was making a little more money by that time, and had made it into the bracket, so she appealed and got the apartment. This also happened to a neighbor of mine.

I have a hunch that if you are in a preference group, and the marketing agency is having a hard time finding qualified people in that group, they may not be so quick to overlook you. Both my friend and my neighbor are in the community. Maybe they were given a "second chance"?

Stormgal, were you in the community for 461 Dean? How far away was the income you had put down?

It would be good to get an answer to this question, because it comes up fairly often.

+1 Yes storm girl I agree with Macnyc

I apply to just about every lottery since I never know my exact income. I have received numerous letters and emails from buildings saying when I submitted my application my income doesn't meet their requirements but if you think it does you may appeal. Once they give you a log in #, whether you meet what you submitted on the application or not that have to formally reach out to you. They vie to either deny you or request your information.

Regarding high log in #'s getting called and not you it may simply mean they were full of what you were applying for either your income group or apt size.

Livingsinglenyc, if I were you, I would update my application before applying for any lottery. Make sure your income on the application is within one of the brackets for that particular building. It's not cheating, because you'll have to prove it later on if you're called. But why take the chance that they might overlook you?

Thanks for relaying your experiences. So, when you heard back with the offer to appeal, were you in the community or another preference group? Do you see any rhyme or reason? Did you occasionally NOT hear back, despite a low number?

I'm sorry, guys. I meant City Point Tower I. Back then, I qualified for a one bedroom. There was a huge income gap with that development. I believe it was only for 60% AMI and 130% AMI. When I hit the apply button, I was only at the 120% income range, even though I had already received a promotion. I had forgotten to update my main application so missed out on that development with the low log number.
