Affordable Housing Lotteries Open in Williamsburg, Bed Stuy

Two affordable housing lotteries have opened – one in Williamsburg and one in Bed Stuy – putting a total of 16 units up for grabs.

In Williamsburg, there are 14 units available. The apartments are in a newly constructed building at 33 Ten Eyck Street that features an elevator, outdoor area, intercom system, bicycle storage and laundry. Of the 14 units in the lottery, nine are one-bedrooms, and five are two-bedrooms. The building is close to the Grand Street L stop.

One of the one-bedroom units is set at 40 percent of the area median income – it’s asking $589 a month, and applicants need to earn between $22,149 and $30,560.

The remaining units are set at 60 percent of the area median income. For the one-bedroom unit, the rent is $929 a month and applicants must earn between $33,806 and $45,840 a year. The two-bedroom apartments are available to lottery winners at $1,121 a month, and applicants must make between $40,423 and $57,240.

The building was developed by the New York City Housing Development Corporation and designed by Bong Yu PC Engineers and Architects. The building is one of four affordable housing developments in Williamsburg designed by the architectural firm.

The lottery for 33 Ten Eyck Street runs through July 24. For more information on the lottery and to apply, visit NYC Housing Connect.
