New housing lotteries in New York
New York has a city program called the Housing lottery. The housing lottery allows city residents with a certain income to participate in a drawing for inexpensive rental apartments. Right now you can take part in at least 13 housing lotteries in different areas of the city. For a complete list, visit the New York City Mayor's website.
-Manhattan
Several apartments in a seven-story building are now up for grabs at 282 Grand Street. To qualify for the program, your income must not be less than $54755 per year. And if you're lucky, you'll only pay $1597 a month to rent a one-room apartment. Detailed information about the lottery is here.
-Brooklyn
Until March 23, you can enter the lottery at 1010 Pacific Street. Renting a studio in this house will cost only $1576. Income must be at least $56,983 per year.
