However, you do have to consider the fact that many are cut based on not meeting income guidelines or bad credit/police records. But still... there's an insatiable (SAT vocab word √) demand for affordable housing in NYC, and not enough supply.

I think a lot of people apply knowing they don't qualify just to see what happens. That really wastes everyone else's time.

Who did you call? Also if they contact people for interviews... What mode of communication do they use?

It depends on what you indicated on the housing connect app of how you wanted to be contacted. Email or snail mail

The number 450k seems to be too high. Hard to believe it. However, my log nr is 65k so , indeed are many ppl who applied, but it was a hot ticket. Lucky these who get the call. Maybe they will inform us how the process goes. Thanks

In more than one previous lottery my Log # was over 90K. Considering those were less desirable properties AND the press coverage these lotteries are getting, I could believe this number. Maybe they will get the idea to change the system and make people pre-qualify for certain categories. Then only people in the category can choose to apply for each individual project. That would cut down on the overhead considerably.

I am fairly certain related management has nothing to do with this housing lottery... Or at least from everything I have seen and read
