Applying For Public Housing (NYCHA)

To be considered for an apartment in a public housing development, a completed application must be submitted. Applications for public housing are available at any of the Borough Applications Offices (click here) or you may call the Applications Offices (718-707-7771) to have an application mailed to you.

Completed Applications can be submitted to an Application Office (click here) Or Mailed To:

     New York City Housing Authority
     Post Office Box 1342
     Church Street Station
     New York, NY 10008


Applications are assigned a priority code based upon the information provided, and placed on the Housing Authority's preliminary waiting list for an eligibility interview.

Within 60 days of receipt of your application you will receive an acknowledgement letter.

Please note that borough choice is a significant factor in determining how soon an applicant will be scheduled for an interview. Therefore, it is important for applicants to select their first borough choice carefully.

The Authority has longer waiting lists and fewer vacancies in the boroughs of Manhattan and Queens. Applicants selecting one of these boroughs as their first choice will probably take longer to be reached on the preliminary waiting list.

You May Be Eligible For An Apartment If

* The income limits of your family does not exceed the established Income Limits.

* You meet NYCHA's definition of family. The term "family" as used by the New York City Housing Authority includes the following:

     1) Two or more persons related by blood, marriage, registered domestic partnership, adoption, guardianship or court awarded custody.

     2) Two or more unrelated persons living together as a cohesive household group in a sharing relationship.

     3) A single person.


* Your admission to a public housing development will not endanger the welfare and safety of other residents.
* You or your co-applicant is at least 18 years of age.

To be eligible for a senior building, you or your co-applicant must be at least 62 years of age.
