Hey been using housing connect for 2 years now and finally got a email saying I’m eligible and they want to move forward with this project on 5/20. My Log #7x with no preference. I emailed all my documents on 5/27 that I have. They reached out to me and said they received them on 6/1. What’s next ?
Yes lottery numbers under 100 always have a very high chance just be patient you should hear something back when your application is going for approval though hpd ! Just takes like a month to hear back

As missmoore mentioned, log # below 100 almost always have a shot if contacted, but then again it depends on the number of units available and the number of preferential units, but we are on a very unique situation now, people losing their jobs, making less money and the overall uncertainty that this pandemic has brought have made some people ineligible or rethinking moving.

Yea lot of people are getting rejected because of loss of income and a lot of people are just not accepting apts because they cannot afford them if you’ve held your job down or have the steady income coming in I would say go for it chances are very high ; I just actually rejected 3 different buildings ; two of which I had really high numbers and was wait listed and one I just don’t wanna go so far cause I work in Manhattan ; but mainly because the one building I really liked approved me and in just waiting on a lease signing , so put yourself out there put it in your head that it’s yours and submit docs and any other info they need

Congrats!!! Great to hear success stories it makes you feel hopeful. Only one thing I’m worried about is my credit is really not the best. Damn student loans. You think they’ll reject me based off that. I’ve never been evicted or went to jail. Ugh

I think you should read the marketing handbook, it has been a lifesaver for me. I also have a log # below 90 and this is my first time moving forward with an application, I have already appealed and won disqualification twice! so the process can be quite challenging, therefore, it pays off to be ready.
One of the best advice that I have received from other forum readers is to keep my finances simple, and it does help. Avoid making unnecessary deposits into your account, avoid at all cost using, especially receiving payments through cash app, apple pay etc. i have a weird tendency to always open several online savings account if they offer good interest rates and they have come under heavy scrutiny during this process, so yeah, keep finances simple. They are always looking for reasons to disqualify applicants and even 1 dollar above the income range would disqualify you and income-related disqualifications are the toughest one to appeal if you ask me.

Thank you greatly for this information. I’ve been keeping my finances very simple. I rarely make large purchases or deposits. My credit is messed up mainly because of student loans so I hope they can bypass that. It’ll be interesting to see what happens. Also congrats on receiving a low log # as well. Hope we both find success moving forward with our applications *Fingers Crossed*
Read the marketing handbook; there are alternatives to credit scores (depending on how low the score is).
