I'm new here so apologies if this is a dumb question! I just got an email from them asking me to set up an interview (by THIS Monday the latest, it's currently Wednesday!) with all my financials etc. Since I applied in 2013 my job situation has changed and I am working very, very part time and going to school. I live with my boyfriend though, and his income combined with my barely existent income would still qualify. BUT I didn't originally apply with him, I applied alone.
Do you think I should discuss adding him with the interviewer? Just try to find ways to make my limited current income work?
I saw another poster wrote that they're desperate to fill studios, which would only be for one person and that's probably why they randomly contacted me, but I'm nervous about my current lack of employment getting me denied.
Not sure if this helps but I just inherited some money, which is allowing me to take a few months off. What do you think I should do??
Thanks so much! Everything posted has already been so helpful.
Yes, it a good sign, if you get a letter back than it usually means bad sign. I just got my apartment, so if anyone need any further information regarding the process feel free to ask.
Hello, I am curious if you or anyone can tell me of the differences you have in appliances/fixtures to the market rate apartments. I hear you have carpets, I assume the wood-look cabinets, formica counters? Please do tell. Much thanks.
PS. I was wait-listed on this building so probably won't be moving there unless a surprise in a few years.
Congratulations! Hopefully it is for the unit i am vacating *Fingers Crossed* I got accepted to another lottery apartment for bigger space and will be breaking my lease. The new guidlines (since the previous tenant- myself- will be moving they are able to increase the rent a certain % not too sure on the exact number) but for a family of 2 $30,723-$36,250. Family of 3 $30,723-$40,800. Family of 4 $30,723-45,300. I hope you meet the requirements and wish you the best of luck! please keep us updated
PS- there is no guideline for single person-Just saw this on your response
Reviving this old thread as I want to ask for people’s experiences living here. I was recently and randomly contacted for a mini lottery for their vacant studios here.
I have never lived in a luxury building before and unsure if I want to proceed or not…I currently live a really nice 1 bedroom apt but in a rough neighborhood. Abington House looks amazing but its for a tiny studio BUT with washer/dryer and dishwasher in unit

If you current apt is not somehow rent regulated and the Abington studio is rent regulated that should inform your choice along with the other things you mentioned. If there is no rent regulated at your current place it could be that your rent could rise beyond your budget.
I suggest you proceed. You have not been offered anything yet. Proceeding does not mean you cannot decline an offer once is made.
The process will inform and enlighten you to the affordable housing policies which will be useful to you when pursuing other lotteries.
I don’t know, but once you are a resident at the new place it might be possible to get on a waitlist or such like for a larger unit.

I’m currently living in a lottery 1-bed apt in a dicey area (kinda notorious).
Just got the email with the offer to select a date to sign the lease.
I’ve been applying to WFH jobs though if I were to stay in my current position- I feel more inclined to move to the studio since I can walk to work.
Guess I keep relying on the big what-if-i-get-a-wfh job, which doesn’t help things since its not thing right now….
Big bummer is that the studio management office said I cannot move to a bigger apt unless its medical/domestic reasons.
