Went to an interview for this building one week ago and just was contacted today stating that my paper work was approved but they have no units available. I'm confused as to why my paperwork was approved in one week if no units are available. I applied for one bedroom and have cb preference.

Why did you do your interview only one week ago if you have CB preference? I thought they did CB long ago. What log no?

Log # 7x,xxx. As stated in previous post I was shocked they contacted me for an interview to begin with. I can only assume a lot of people were denied or pending appeals. Because she didn't say I was "wait-listed" so maybe there's still a chance for a unit to become available. Just a waiting process for now.

i'm beyond confused... are they still working with preference groups? How do they fill apartments is it based on lowest income to higher income.. or do they go down the list of log#'s......

I wish I knew all the answers to these questions. The whole process seems confusing. Because I don't know why my paperwork was reviewed to even be approved if no one bedroom unit was available, again this only took one week for approval. I'm sure if one do become available down the road I would have to submit updated documents.

My guess is there are essentially two lotteries within one. There are those participating in a lottery for the lower income apartments and those in a lottery for the middle income apartments. Throw in the preferences and it gets even more complicated. Ttherefore, having a low log number is probably not even half the battle.
