How to apply

  1. Call the building at (718) 805-6796, ext. 1108 (managed by Innovative Resources for Independence, Inc.) and ask whether the waiting list is open and how to get an application.
  2. Most buildings keep their own waiting list — this is separate from the NYCHA / HPD / HCR Section 8 voucher list.
  3. Submit proof of income, ID for every household member, and Social Security numbers where available.
  4. When your name comes up, the management office verifies eligibility and offers a unit.
