Looking for an Affordable Apartment?

New Housing Search, Application, Lottery and Waitlist Tool Now Available!

In the coming weeks all listings will be on housingsearch.hcr.ny.gov

Below is a list of developments financed by NYS Homes and Community Renewal (HCR) that are currently holding lotteries or accepting applications for waitlists or accessible unit waitlists.

Please note, HCR does not conduct lotteries or maintain waiting lists for affordable housing and does not receive applications from prospective tenants; that is the sole responsibility of the building owner.

The marketing and lease-up of affordable apartments in developments financed by HCR are the responsibility of the building owner and it is subject to strict rules and in some instances, federal regulation.
