Apartment Listings (The Affordable Housing Hotline)

En espa�ol >>

When apartments created under HPD's affordable housing programs are ready to be rented or sold they are advertised in both local and major newspapers. The apartments are also listed on HPD's Affordable Housing Hotline, which you may reach by calling 311 (311 can be accessed outside of New York City by dialing (212) NEW YORK).

The City itself does not rent apartments, but works with real estate professionals and community sponsors who market them. You will need to contact them directly to fill out an application and enter it in an apartment lottery. There are no broker fees and no application fees.

If you would like to receive an e-mail when the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development has updated its web content concerning apartment and home listings for City-sponsored housing in the five boroughs, register for this feature at www.nyc.gov/hpd

The full descriptions of the apartments listed below are available in .PDF format. To download these descriptions, you will need the latest copy of the Adobe Acrobat Reader. This program can be downloaded for free from this link: "Acrobat and the Web."

The majority of the units are for single individuals who are currently homeless in the NYC shelter system and/or who have a disability. Call the Supportive Housing Network at (212) 870-3303, ext. 0 for a New York City Intake List. There are very few vacancies.
