Roosevelt Island Affordable Apartments (parking, street, bracket)

The one bedrooms are 500 square feet- no different from a large studio.

This "interest" screening, in theory, should make the list move faster as well as the leasing process. It can take more than a year to fill a building like this.

This makes sense.

I got a email for an open house on another apartment but I wasn't approved yet. The day after they asked if I was still interested, which unit I liked and if I would like to proceed. I declined since the apartment was so far from the train station.

I am finding that the real estate rental market in NYC (both market and affordable buildings) has been very inflated. And this has trickled down to affordable housing. They need to assess their rents again and possibly decrease them. I think the bubble is going to pop.

Latest update from Roosevelt islander online blog:
Hudson Related representative Jamar Adams:

Any update on the Riverwalk Park affordable housing building?
Have you started interviews yet and if not, when will you start?
About a dozen residents who put in applications have asked me when the interviews will start.
When do you expect residents to start moving in?
How many total applications did you receive?
Any other news to report?
A Hudson Related spokesperson replied yesterday:
Riverwalk Park has started interviewing applicants in lottery log number order for the first set aside preference which is individuals and families that have indicated on their application they have a mobility, or visual hearing impairment.
We received 77,563 total applications.
We have started moving in eligible applicants.
We anticipate outreach to the first community board applicants by the end of this month

Ah, thanks for the update!

It looks like it'll be awhile for non CB to get an update.

Thank you so much for the update!

[Cara100]

I feel that non CB applicants are looking at a summer 2021 move in.

Has anyone heard anything? I wonder where they're at

[Cara100]

I haven’t heard anything!

Same, I haven't heard anything yet.

Judging from the blog post. If they're going thru Cb pref right now and they make up 50% of units. Non-cb probably wouldn't hear back until Feb earliest. unfortunately, I fall under non-cb catergory.....
