Common questions

What is the NYC Housing Lottery?

The NYC Housing Lottery is a city-run program that offers the chance to secure a brand-new, rent-stabilized apartment at an affordable rate.

How much can I save on rent?

Families typically save $1,000 to $1,200 per month compared to similar apartments. Plus, with rent-control, rent increases are limited to 2% annually.

Do I qualify?

The NYC Housing Lottery is open to a broad range of incomes, not just low-income households. Depending on the building, eligible incomes can be as high as $240,000 per year.

What does Homey do?

We're not affiliated with the city or the official lottery system. We just make the process easier by managing all the paperwork for you.

What do I have to do?

Getting started is easy! Share some basic details: income, family size, and housing preferences, and we’ll apply to all eligible lotteries for you in just 10–15 minutes.

What happens to my Housing Connect account?

Your existing Housing Connect account and any applications you’ve already submitted will remain unchanged. Homey doesn’t take over your account, we simply handle all your future applications for you.

What happens if Homey messes up my application?

Homey double-checks every application to ensure accuracy before submission. If there’s ever an issue, we’ll notify you and resolve it.
