“Lucky for me, I was given the opportunity to move into a beautiful apartment, on West 59th street, and I love it. I had been applying to Housing Connect for years. On my birthday they called me and told me I had the apartment. It has been a blessing and a godsent to me.” ~Ghita, Manhattan resident We are proud to announce that NYC had back-to-back record-breaking years for producing and connecting New Yorkers to new affordable homes! For the second year in a row, the City produced the most supportive housing and homes for formerly homeless individuals and families, connected a record number of New Yorkers to affordable housing through CityFHEPS, the housing lottery, and homeless placements, and financed the MOST new affordable homes in history: on.nyc.gov/4d24kbs As we celebrate, we know our work is nowhere close to finished. Now, we need the help of NYC Council and our neighbors to create a “City of Yes” and pass zoning changes to create a little more housing in every neighborhood. A heartfelt thank you to our partners for their role in surpassing our 2023 goals, and to our passionate HPD team for their tireless efforts in affordable housing preservation and creation. Your commitment is changing lives, thank you for all that you do for your neighbors. ❤️

“It has completely changed my life. I was really, really struggling here, and my mom kept saying: You just need to hang on, if one thing can change, that could change your entire life." –Emiko Powers, Brooklyn resident In a city where finding affordable housing can feel like a daunting task, the NYC housing lottery offers a glimmer of hope. Architectural Digest sat down with lottery winners from Brooklyn to Queens to chat about scoring the City’s hottest commodity: affordable housing. Behind the scenes, champions like HPD’s Aileen Reynolds, Assistant Commissioner of Housing Opportunity, work tirelessly to ensure fairness and equity in the allocation of these sought-after units. “The original housing lottery was essentially an advertisement being placed in a newspaper instructing applicants to send an application in by mail. On the day of the lottery, all of those applications would be thrown in a big black garbage bag and shaken up and, individually, an envelope would be taken out and written down on a log…. We’ve come a long way since then.” Read more about the history of the lottery and the New Yorkers who live in these spectacular homes: bit.ly/3V7lrAH
