If you are qualified for both studio & 1BR and those units are still available, the marketing agent usually lets you choose which one you prefer. But if either 1BR or studio units are already taken by lower logs then you will be offered/assigned to what's available & you will take it or leave it.

This happened to me, I was qualified for both studio & 1BR units but 1BR were all taken by lower log applicants so the marketing agent told me only studios left & they assigned me to one.

Good luck with the interview!!!

So you guys know my interview is on Monday .. however I fall under 80% AMI for studio and 1bedroom. Do you think they would give the option to choose between the two I would want to live in during the interview? Or they probably just give me what they want to give me ? I wanted to email them and ask but I didn’t want to seem like a bother. Has anyone ever been in this situation before? If so please give me some insight.

Thanksss so much again !!

Thank u so much!! That’s good to know. Hopefully there is a 1 bedroom available. I pray lol. I live in a studio now so I kind of just want a 1 bedroom.

I won a unit from another lottery, not from One Bell Slip but how they distribute the units is usually pretty much the same I believe.

That's almost never a good idea, unless your lottery number is sub-10.

It’s a pretty good number. You never know. You May have a shot ! Don’t give up ! Make sure to check your spam emails and also on the housing connect website enable text message alerts so you can get text messages to your phone about the housings you applied for.

In case this is helpful, I got an e-mail on June 3 thanking me for submitting eligibility docs and that they are still processing lower log numbers for mobility, hearing/visual and community board preferences or unit type.

It was nice to at least get a check-in. I do have CB pref though and log #10**, so crossing my fingers and toes that I'll be able to move forward soon.
