Default NYC Affordable Housing Lottery: VIA West 57 (Accord: money, required)

[iamWALRUS77]

it’s $50 for moderate income and $25 for low income I think. It should say at the bottom of the document checklist.

Hello All,
I am glad I came across this forum. I had my 1st "interview" yesterday. (log# 7**) I basically just dropped off all of the documents and was told that I would be contacted soon. I'm a single person looking for a 1 bedroom. After reading this forum, it appears that 1 beds are all gone. This is a bummer, however, I will consider a studio if offered.

i haven't received a response yet and my interview was last Monday. Just REJECT ME ALREADY! lol

Also really wished they said they only accept money orders upfront...

I had my first interview yesterday as well. Lots of people running to get money orders (myself included). They weren't clear on that at all.

Also, I feel confident I had all my docs (and in the order of the checklist) but seeing how neat and well packaged everyone had theirs made me feel very self conscious lol

Yeah I think I went overboard with mine. Had everything in a binder, labeled, and divided into sections according to the checklist... then I saw the wavecrest staff organizing the paperwork into their own binders... oh well guess I know next time not to go too crazy with that.

Same--went yesterday. Also had to run for a money order, lol. log #7XX, saw a few people checked in with lower log by the time I checked in too. I was feeling so good before I went to the interview, now I guess it's out of our hands!

I can't really gather if they were still processing applications from the original housing lottery, or if this was ALL for the middle income bands?

[spidey23]

lol it's all pretty exciting still. Just hope atleast one of us gets in!

Me tooooo. This would be life changing for me. I’ve been living in near slum like conditions for 5 years.

[spidey23]

so anyone have any updates? It's been like over 3 weeks and I haven't seen anything... Should i email them? Would they even respond?

It’s been exactly a month for me and still no updates from them....
