This is a tax-credit (LIHTC) affordable building. Rents are capped based on area income; they aren't set at 30% of your income, so the rent can still be more than a third of what you earn. If you have a Section 8 voucher, the voucher can help cover the rent here.

About this building

Eastman Reserve is at 50 Goodwill St, Rochester, NY 14615. HUD's tax-credit database lists 188 apartments, 135 of them income-restricted, placed in service in 2020.

Who can apply

HUD's data says this project serves people experiencing homelessness, so some or all apartments may be filled only by referral from shelters or city agencies — ask the management office. Most apartments are for households earning at or below a set share of the area median income (often 60%; some units are set lower or higher). Each building sets its own income bands and rents by household size.

How to apply

1. Contact the management office at the building and ask whether any apartments or a waiting list are open.
2. Check New York State's official Housing Search — new tax-credit apartments and re-rentals are often listed there.
3. Have ID for every household member and recent proof of income ready.

Section 8 vouchers

Federal law bars tax-credit buildings from turning down an applicant just because they use a Section 8 voucher. New York State law bans source-of-income discrimination statewide, so a landlord can't turn you down because you use a Section 8 voucher or other housing assistance (Executive Law § 296).
