Moving to Hunts Point is like being on death row you never know when your time will come I don’t recommend anyone living in Hunts Point. They’ll tell you it’s a good building to live in but they won’t tell you about how dangerous that neighborhood is
Hunts Point is the worst neighborhood in all five boroughs that is the most dangerous neighborhoods to live in think about your safety instead of finding a home on Hunts Point

Where or how does someone go about getting an application for this particular housing lottery? Many others, myself included would like to know. Thanks in advance
I live in huntspoint, yea it’s a shady area, but the specific location of the buildings would make that specific area almost like a separate community, and with the addition of all the ppl it would deff feel like you’re living some where else. The buildings are like on the edge of huntspoint away from the main community, so I don’t think there would be much interaction going on. Ppl here just stick to their blocks unless their traveling to the park or a preferred store or super market.
