Section 8 & Voucher Housing in 10002 — Lower East Side
ZIP code 10002 covers the Lower East Side of Manhattan, a dense, transit-rich neighborhood along the East River. It is home to NYCHA's Baruch Houses — the largest public housing development in Manhattan — along with other subsidized and rent-regulated buildings. Renters with a Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) or those applying to public housing will find a long-established affordable-housing community here, served by the F, J, M, and Z subway lines.
The largest are Vladeck Houses (1763 apartments, public housing); Samuel Gompers Houses (1505 apartments, public housing); La Guardia Houses (1491 apartments, public housing); Rutgers Houses (721 apartments, public housing). In project-based Section 8 buildings and public housing the subsidy comes with the apartment, so you do not need your own voucher and rent is generally about 30% of adjusted income. Tax-credit buildings have rents capped by area income instead.

30 subsidized & affordable buildings
These buildings have federal rent subsidies attached to the unit — you apply to the building directly and pay about 30% of your income. Most keep their own waiting list, separate from the housing authority's voucher list. Tax-credit buildings are different: their rents are capped based on area income, not set at 30% of your income — contact the management office for current rents.

About This Program in New York
In New York City, Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers are run by NYCHA, HPD and New York State HCR, and NYCHA also runs public housing. With a voucher or in public housing, rent is generally about 30% of adjusted household income.
How to Apply in New York
Project-based Section 8, senior and disability buildings keep their own waiting lists — call the building's management office. Apply for NYCHA public housing through NYCHA. Tax-credit apartments are often listed on NYC Housing Connect. New York City and New York State law ban source-of-income discrimination, so landlords can't refuse your Section 8 voucher or CityFHEPS.
