Yeah that's how. So if there are CB candidates left, they go before you even if their log number is #1,000,000 and yours is #200.

Wow thanks for this but isn’t there a set number of cb units set aside and a set of general population units too. This selection process isn’t efficient at all in my eyes lol

On the new portal it says pending then it shows in small letters underneath updated 5/20/21 which is weird they haven’t contacted me so what does the update is from. This portal is not helpful and they haven’t provided the knowledge of it smh

CB only has 50% preference, they move to general after the 50 is filled. So it's not that you don't have a chance at all. It could just be slow.

The initial contact for me was via housingconnect in an email to upload documents. It was just one of those autogenerated email messages to check housingconnect. Check your spam folder. It's also possible that they're out of mobility units. There should be a contact email listed on the lottery, try to reach out. However, from other people's comments on this thread they're not very responsive.

I appreciate that I note or there are other organizations that promote the application besides housing Connect and their deadline haven’t expire so I wonder if that means that lack of notice or anything I just checked my spam for a whole hour damn so many spams but nothing

They emailed me at the end of May. and I think I am General Population because I do not live near the building but I do live in queens.

Does anyone have an email we can reach the building management to find out what happened to our application? I have not heard back since 3 weeks and I gave in like a bunch of documents over the course of 2.5 months. Last time I gave something is was 3 weeks ago and I have not heard back or been asked additional documents. I am completed in the dark about this whole thing.

Tired of waiting and just want some closure.

From the day I applied to the day I got approved everything took 6 months ( about 4 months for them to reach out for documents, and the last 2 months were all the back and forth with documents and approval) I was CB preferred, not sure when they’ll get to GP. I found this YouTube channel that has so much information about the process and it has help me so much especially with the frustrating part of waiting with no answers, this channel has given me so much peace while I waited to hear back! Check her out and good luck to everyone! https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCazHKI629Ph5SY2cJALMzyw
Congratulations

Hi all, posting this for reference: I got the news this week that I have been approved. 130% AMI for studio. Log # between 21k-23k and I have CB preference. I received the automated message to submit documents in early June. Heard nothing for 2 months until an agent emailed me to submit additional docs about 2 weeks ago. Process went much more quickly once an actual person had reached out. I am very excited to get my own place after years with roommates. Best of luck to everyone else!
