Important information when seeking affordable housing:

Fraud Alert: Do not pay any money or fee at any time to anyone for an application to any HPD or HDC-sponsored housing project.  If you see an advertisement for an HPD or HDC affordable housing project that is not posted on an official City web site, report it to 311 immediately.

Don’t Submit Duplicate Applications: Only one application per household may be submitted to each property.  If you apply online, then you may NOT submit a paper application to the same lottery.  If you apply via paper, then you may NOT submit an online application in the same lottery.
