I know someone that did. He was applying regularly for probably ten years, now he's living in a new luxury building 2BR in Hell's kitchen and pays a ridiculously low amount for it.

I just got one in LIC. The whole process took 9 months between applying and moving in.

I once met someone who did. He lived in a really nice luxurious apt in upper east side. He had no job.

I did. From when I first entered to getting an email was about 4 years.

How do you find these lotteries?

It looks like all the listings are for <$168k income? So higher income than this basically won’t qualify?

What’s the criteria for the lottery? i thought it’s for low income people

There are housing developments for high income earners too. Just depends on the income range for each application

I applied for like two years, ended up getting emails for a bunch that my log number came up, but by the time I got the email my income was no longer eligible for the the income bracket

Folks that have applied into the lottery, can you give us a summary of qualification and process?

That’s really great

Should we wait it out or consult a behavior therapist?
