Households that earn $33,909 to $218,010 are eligible to apply for one of the units. The apartments are designated for New Yorkers earning between 40% and 130% of the area median income (AMI), which varies based on household size. Studio rents start at $989. One-bedroom and two-bedroom units are also available.
A percentage of units are set aside for:

• Residents who are city employees (5%)
• Residents with vision/hearing needs (2%)
Find more details and apply here. (Be sure to read the fine print, such as do NOT submit multiple applications or apply online AND via U.S. mail.)
