I would love input from some of the experts in this forum regarding picking out a development for my grandmother, uncle, aunt and child. They currently live in Bensonhurst Brooklyn and they knew chances are there are not going to get a development in that area. They qualify for a 3 bedroom. Their priority code is W2, Income Tier is Tier II, Accessible Qualification is Regular and LLC Flag is Y. I'm not sure what this all means but wanted to be as detailed as possible.
The Development Selection List is,
BROOKLYN
Howard - E New York & Rockaway Aves
Kingsborough - Pacific St. & Ralph Ave
Langston Hughes - Sutter Ave & Mother Gaston Blvd
Linden - Can Siclen & Wortman Aves
Marcus Garvey - Amboy St & E New York Ave
Pink - Crescent St & Linden Blvd
Seth Low - Belmont& Powell Aves
Tilden - Rockaway & Dumont Aves
Unity Plaza - Blake & Alabama Aves
Van Dyke I - Blake & Powell Aves
MANHATTAN
Audubon Apartments - W 155th St & Amsterdam Ave
East River - E 105th St & First Ave
Manhattanville - W 126th St & Broadway
Audubon Apartments - W 155th St & Amsterdam Ave- this building is the worst...
Noisy building and drug dealers control the building.
Weed smoking all day long. The smell will come into you apartment. It's horrible.
There has been a lot of shooting at night in the area. Not really safe to come home at night.
If your family wants to live in Manhattan I would pick East River - E 105th St & First Ave.
Mesa - Thanks for the response. I think my grandmother is leaning towards East River as well. Its unfortunate she couldn't get anything in midtown or downtown Manhattan as it would be much more covenient for her.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
I can only comment on Manhattanville. I would avoid it, although I think the population will change in the coming years.

Thanks Harlem Resident! I've been reading that most Manhattan developments have pretty substantial waiting list. Can anyone shed some light on this. I would hate for my grandmother to select a development and have to wait 5 years for it.
aiting period of five years would be a brief waiting period for NYCHA today. I waited 6 years and had given up all hope and that was some years ago when the waiting period was as long as it is today.
Senior buildings probably have a bigger turn-over due to natyral deaths of the elderly.
There are more people on the waiting list for apartments than NYCHA has apartments. In other words for every apartment NYCHA has there is one person or family on the list already. Fewer people move away when income increases because of high cost of apartment rentals.
It will not harm your grandmother to apply but she should understand the waiting time is long. Having a medical condition and low income does not give priority status.

I would actually choose Manhattanville because it's close to a lot of retail and transportation, it's in a very convenient location. Nothing on the list in Brooklyn is even remotely desirable. I've been to Manhattanville a few times, night and day time, and I've been to much worse projects than that. So it looked fine to me.

Thanks SeventhFloor. After bring my grandmother to both Manhattanville and East River, she chose East River. Now hopefully the wait isn't too long, but will keep everyone posted on the process this way it can be a gauge for someone else down the line.
