This is a city process so they do everything the old fashion way via regular post office mail. They'd only contact you via phone after you submit your documents. If you receive one, chances of you obtaining an apartment are already 95% unless they find out you have an arrest record or bad credit in the application process. From my experience, and I have only applied to 2 lotteries in my entire life, is that you receive a postcard notifications asking you to come in. Keep applying because you never know if you'll get called or not. People that win these lotteries should really need a roof over their head let alone a 3rd income. The sad part is, there's people who actually need a place to live/affordable rents and the city awards it to the wrong people who abuse it and illegally rent it out for a 3rd income. I am a fountain of knowledge and would love to help - None of it makes sense.

Remember, that one person's trash is anothers treasure.ДЇeel free to ask me more questions. You always want to have low lottery numbers, but stay positive regardless. OP, is yours a low income lottery? Not to rain on your parade, but 5,000 doesn't seem like a good sign to me. They need reliable lottery winners and not someone who will get awarded a place and then start jamming the studio and having 5 friends live there with them. Also, there are a few lotteries in super high luxury door man buildings in Manhattan where everyone else is paying 6K in rent, and they'll award a small number of units to people who make 25K and under and for those instances, they really can't just have any nobody in that building. Maybe for section 8 housing and low income they might conduct interviews because those applicants do not have a high source of income and they have to be cautious with who they award units to because that person can end up broke and not be able to pay the cheap rent they were awarded, smoke weed, do drugs, etc. This worked out because i was awarded one.ДЄlso, they don't conduct interviews. So many people were awarded units and turned it down. Mine was a middle income lottery and for the price of each unit, the awarded applicants felt they were entitled to 2 bedrooms, 2 bath, and a balcony. If it is a low income lottery, the chances of people turning it down are pretty slim. So do not let high log numbers detour you from feeling you will not get awarded an apartment. There are many reasons, but those are some. Sometimes people get called in and the building leaves them a voicemail, but they never respond so they go to the next person in line.Д«ackground check did not go through and so forth. So remember to keep the same number and don't change it. Somestimes people cancel their cell service and get new numbers. Some of he applicants listed phone numbers do not work anymore. Was awarded an apartment, but decided to turn it down, so the next in line gets called in. The applicant was employed when they applied, but are now unemployed after getting called in. If 3,000 people come in, not all 3,000 necessarily qualify for the apartment. Anyways, you are probably asking yourself: If there is only 108 units, howcome the log numbers are not 108 and under. 4 units on the top 2 floors are for sale but now turned rental. My building is brand new and had 108 empty units to give away which is 98% of the building. I do not know anyone who was awarded an apartment that had log numbers above 3,000. I can tell you that everyone in my buildings log number was 3,000 and below. I have only applied to 2 apartment lotteries my entire life. Electronic is always better in my opinion.

They still accept paper applications, but recommend online submissions more. Now that we have the dramatics out of the way, lets get down to your questions.ДЇor my lottery, I applied via regular mail. I am going to be up front that it was a very hard and painful process and i cried many nights. I was recently awarded a middle income lottery and i can tell you my entire experience form A to Z.
