in AM new york today i FINALLY found an advertisement for affordable housing where my income actually fits the criteria for both a one bedroom (1035) or a studio (900). unfortunately it’s in mott haven in the bronx but i guess if i could find a new new construction apartment that’s rent stabalized i would be very happy.. not having to worry about finding a new place all the time. plus i really really want my own apartment (im almost 32!).

anyway, it’s just like 7 slots for studios and like 8 for one bedrooms. they do give 50 percent to people who live in the immediate area and 5 percent to people with disabilities, and 5 for city workers, etc, so in reality there are probably just a few apartments actually available..

just wondering if it’s worth it? also if anyone knows of any in brooklyn? the ones i always find for brooklyn i either make too much or i make way too little.

the ones for manhattan are always ridiculous where it’s like you cant even make more than 25K a year.. but that’s fine, i guess it keeps people who do make that in manhattan so im okay with that..

thoughts?
