What does it mean when affordable housing ads say "income is subject to change" ? Does that mean they are allowed to increase or decrease income ranges?
Just curious. Thanks!

I have another question.

If let's say income is listed as:

1 person / who makes between 70k and 100K/ will pay $2,000 a month.

Does the 70k person pay the same as the 100K a year person - meaning 2k a month?

Huh?
Why would you apply to nycha if your income is that high?
Nycha is not a nice place to be!

And NO, you pay 30 percent of your income for rent.

With such a high income you do not even qualify for nycha, unless our family is 10 members.

She's not talking about NYCHA! She's talking about affordable housing/ 80/20 buildings.

Range is set so that a household is not paying more than a certain percentage of total income in rent.
80/20 Housing Program

I didn't know that.

I too thought the OP was talking about moderate income housing,not NYCHA.

I was talking about the 80/20's and the new complexes like 461 Dean street.

Oh, and by the way, I was born in a NYCHA housing complex but moved out at the age of 18. So I already have the experience. It's not the end of the world.
