Yea, I think CB gets 10 units of any available 20 units in the building (depending on what they qualify for), I honestly don’t think they’d be organized enough to sort it the other way lol but maybe it’s either way and just depends on the building mgmt/marketing agency.
I don’t know for sure but I think the second makes most sense. Take a situation where nobody in CB is eligible for a 2 bedroom. Well they won’t complete that requirement if they went by the first option.
I also think the most fair way to approach cb is if u start with lowest log numbers that have cb and work ur way up.
Yeah that makes sense, also sucks for me because Im looking for a 1 bed those are in HIGH demand and I'm also in a lower AMI so by the time preferences are done no 1 beds are avail like what I think is happening in 40 oak ;/

Half the units and just luck of the draw and what units size and/or AMI% is popular with the low logs# with CB preference.
I have never seen it written that there is any attempt to distribute CB units evenly by AMI% or by unit size.
In your second example, it comes down to what the lowest log#s with CB preference take from inventory until the allotment is fulfilled. This means any combination of units that adds up to half the units. (They don’t count a three bedroom three times compared to one bedroom). This can make for unkind outcomes. For example, an applicant with CB preference and a very low log# might get passed over if when their log# is called there is no longer a unit left with an AMI% they qualify for, or likewise they might require a two bedroom but those have already been taken.
We can imagine a lottery with CB preference where there are studio units. But, the studio units are exceptionally small. As a result, applicants with low log#s and CB preference all declined the studio units. So, when it came time for general population log# to be called all the tiny studios are still available.

This makes sense, in that case winning a spot with CB preference when you don’t have CB is very hard imo.
I’m starting to get discoursed :/
