My log number is 1x. I applied in the 60% and there are 4 units available. Last week they asked me to submit documents. I keep hearing that submitting documents is not a guarantee so I don’t want to get my hopes up. Does everyone who has a log number submit documents?

Also I’m stalking the availability the building is posting at MR, are those the same apartments in the lottery ??

Then I would think you would have a very good chance. The lottery page says 3 1 bedrooms for 60 AMI and 1 40AMI studio, A lot of the time people don't bother to fill out their paperwork. It is not a guarantee but it's a good sign. Everyone with a log does not submit documents they do a group of logs at the same time some agencies request documents from 1000 people other work in batches of 25 it all depends on the units available and the AMI makeup of the people who qualify.

MR building listings posted are not the same as the lottery and do not correlate.

You have been such a help honestly!

I wonder how long this process will take. I’m so anxious.

I get that, it's hard to say on timing you have a very low log though so it should be quicker and the building is already completed which helps. Earliest it would be is after the 2 week mark of documents being requested that you'd hear again but it's a slow process and usually takes a long time.

Hey, just curious if you have moved along at all in the application process?

Yes I have. I’ve submitted tons of documents and now it’s a waiting game. I’m told I should get a unit, but I’m also told there are no guarantees. Fingers-crossed!

They really seem to be moving slow with this. I hope you get a unit!

I thought I was being anxious. I’m going to email my agent later to ask for a update. I hope I move along in this process soon.
