1 - Is it a good idea to send documents along with my partner if i did not make enough income?
2 - Are only Self-Employment Net Income eligible?
Notes:
- I applied as a single person for a studio/1BR and my application got "reached" (yay i "won"!)
- I am self-employed, made less money during the pandemic and received some Unemployment Benefits in 2020-21. Work is slowly starting to resume in my field (entertainment)
- However, because of loss of job during the pandemic, my income might not meet the income criteria of the housing in question (Cloth Amsterdam in Manhattan)
- I currently do not live with my partner, we both have our own places - however that could be something to consider, especially if it helps my eligibility, as it seems our combined income could still be eligible for Studio/1BR
- Deadline is next week April 22 - I m trying to decide whether or not i should continue with the application (sending documents)
If you are not currently living with your partner, you will not be considered a "household," and it will be tough convincing HPD that you are unless you have a joint bank account, a child, or something else in common along those lines.
You applied as a single person, and technically far as HPD/developer is concerned still are. You and your partner have not combined yourselves into a household, and unless can show proof of such as outlined in handbook, that option is O-W-T, out.
If you truly want this apartment send in documents as requested and see where chips fall. There are only three responses; approved, denied, or a request for more information.

You have not “won” anything yet. You have reached the point of having your application evaluated.
Also in the handbook table of contents “ 5-3 Changes To An Application”, and “ C. Proof Of Extenuating Circumstances” pages 40 and 42.
The first task is to meet the deadline. Do that even if you are missing a document or two. If you are rejected you can appeal. There is a section in the handbook.

You might recalculate your income and think darn I doubt qualify, and then drop your application. Do Not Reject Yourself, you are not authorized or educated to do this. You could make a mistake not in your favor. Let the lottery people do the math.
