All of you CBers who got waitlisted... I guess it's possible that you were screwed over by the fact that 50% of all CB units are being set aside for homeless referrals now...

They probably haven't reviewed applications for your income bracket yet.

I was told I wasn't waitlisted or rejected and needed to wait for them to call me in to sign an income verification form or something like that. So more waiting, 2-10 months.

I got waitlisted, too. The email gets automatically added to the "promotions" tab, which I check less often, but I received my waitlist email at the same time as seemingly everyone else. 3XXX log number, CB preference, I think I am in the second income band. There are nearly 50 units I could have qualified for. Ugh, this sucks.

So basically there has been a HUGE rush of middle income (lower middle income really!) to get these few slots. This is rough. who will care about future lotteries? I don't now.

Is it possible if community board preference could backfire on you given Whats said. If 10 percent is CB.
