WHAT A JOKE TRYING TO SAY THIS IS AFFORDABLE HOUSING?????!!!!!
WHAT A DISGRACE
WHAT POOR PEOPLE CAN AFFORD THIS!
for residents at 130 percent of the area median income (AMI), ranging in eligible income from $68,915 to $192,400.
This is not affordable housing
Will there be applications for people whose income is Social Security. Please advise thank you
There already was a lottery for this project that ended right before covid started….why is another lottery being held??
Looking for 3bdrm apartments
Affordable for whom! This is not It is more let’s move those who need affordable housing out of this ” New Area which we are calling Downtown Jamaica” but please tell me where are they suppose to go?
Is city housing going crazy,why don’t u just come out and say these are not for the poor, be specific.
Need for rente
This building was never meant for low income people.The way things have change could mean they will have to lower the rent.
Does this place take section 8
Totally Ridiculous
How is this low income
Will anything be accessible for people on a low income; retired on social security
What a joke. 75 “affordable” apartments? This building should have been 50-50 market affordable. This is why we’ll never be able to fix this city
It’s unfathomable that the city allowed a tower so humongous to be placed in a predominantly lower and middle income neighborhood. And yet again, the city continues to prove that their Housing New York program is a farce that’s built more for a ideal populace that doesn’t exist than for rent-burdened and homeless people who are struggling to find housing now.
This is luxury public housing. A person making 30% above the AMI doesn’t need the government’s help in getting an apartment. They could probably afford to buy a house.
My disabled mother with a monthly income below the median income would not qualify for these units. I guess she will have no choice but to live in the rat infested building she lives in cutrently. Please build affordable housing for the disabled people with low income
The absurdity of these exorbitant so-called affordable apartments, are misleading and condescending.
Interested
These rents are quite high to live in such a terrible high crime neighborhood!
