Affordable Housing - Additional Resources

West Side Neighborhood Alliance Monthly Meetings
4th Thursday of every month; location will vary.
The West Side Neighborhood Alliance is a coalition of tenants and tenant associations sponsored by Housing Conservation Coordinators. WSNA meets monthly to discuss and organize for solutions to problems that tenants face in their buildings, like illegal hotels, tenant harassment, and MCIs. Contact Jonathan Furlong at [email protected] or 845-367-7003 for more information.

Housing Conservation Coordinators (HCC) Legal Clinic
Mondays, 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

HCC offers a free legal clinic on Monday evenings from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm. To meet with a volunteer attorney, visitors must call the front desk (212) 541-5996 to reserve a spot in the clinic in advance. Only the first eight callers will be able to reserve an appointment. Any New York City resident who does not qualify for HCC's legal services can visit HCC’s Legal Clinic, regardless of income or address. Our volunteer lawyers provide brief legal information, explain basic legal rights and may refer visitors to other legal resources/organizations/agencies. The Clinic is for 15-minute consultations only. You do not retain the volunteer attorney and the attorney cannot represent you or provide legal advice. While most visitors come for legal information about housing-related matters, attorneys may (at their own discretion) field questions about other basic, legal matters, as well. Visitors are asked to bring all documents relevant to their questions.

NYC Housing Connect
Looking for affordable housing? The NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) has developed an online portal to search and apply for affordable housing opportunities in New York City called NYC Housing Connect. On the site, you can: learn how to apply for affordable housing in New York City; view current and upcoming housing opportunities; start, save, and complete an application for your household; and apply to housing options for which you may qualify. NYC Housing Connect seeks to simplify the application process for you. To visit the site, CLICK HERE ([link removed]) . Applying and qualifying for affordable housing can be a long process, and you are not guaranteed to receive housing. Your household must not only qualify with detailed criteria on a property-by-property basis, but you must also be selected at random in that property's lottery. Preferences noted in the advertisement will be given first consideration. For
other housing resources for New York City, visit the Affordable Housing Resource Center ([link removed]) .

NYC Housing Development Corporation
HDC finances rental properties reserved for households that meet certain income restrictions, commonly referred to as either low-income or middle-income. Each posting specifies how many of each type of apartment is available. To apply, please follow the instructions on the application information or advertisement posted for each development. All apartments are awarded through a lottery; your eligibility is determined by income. There is no application fee, facilitator, outside expediter, or broker involved in this process.
