With an income of up to $40 a year, you can’t really live in New York City, and even renting a place is difficult. The average rent for a one-bedroom apartment is now is $3 per month. With the help of lotteries from the New York City Housing Department, you can rent affordable housing in Manhattan, Brooklyn and the Bronx. We have collected several housing lotteries for New Yorkers making less than $40 a year.
These buildings are listed on the website. Housing Connect, the city's affordable housing lottery portal. There you can also apply to participate in the lottery and pay hundreds of dollars a month for rent instead of thousands.
