Which one is easier to get a unit for low income senior (30% rent)?

Thanks.

If you want to live in the worst and farthest PJ's, probably NYCHA.

What do you mean? Do you mean NYCHA buildings are typically located in bad communities?

What does PJ mean?

By PJ I mean projects.

I have some assumption that if you were aiming to live in say Williamsbridge NYCHA, it'd be easier than going for Chelsea NYCHA given that Chelsea NYCHA is higher desirability. I know of the senior (I think) NYCHA in the LES near me, Hernandez Houses, that would probably be decent, but I highly doubt anyone can get in anymore. They even rent out units to newcomers to the city! (Illegal, but who's enforcing really).

If you were to compare Chelsea NYCHA to housing lottery, it's likely you'll get into the housing lottery places years, maybe even decades, before you can get through the waitlist for Chelsea.

If you were to compare say the Melrose Houses to housing lottery, you can probably get into Melrose Houses fairly easily though I wouldn't recommend it given the terrible area.

Similarly, if you were to compare the Todt Hill Houses to housing lottery, you can probably get in fairly easy. I don't mind Todt Hill, but it's going to take some getting used to to get around because of where it is on Staten Island.

This applies much more with Mitchell Lama comparisons, but I'd assume there're relative similarities.
