Section 8 & Voucher Housing in 10009 — East Village
ZIP code 10009 covers the East Village and the northern Lower East Side of Manhattan, along Avenue D and the East River. It is home to NYCHA's Lillian Wald Houses, along with other affordable buildings. Served by the F, J, M, and Z trains and bus routes, it is a central area for renters using a Housing Choice Voucher.
The largest are Jacob Riis Houses (1764 apartments, public housing); Haven Plaza (371 apartments, project-based section 8); Lower East Side I (152 apartments, project-based section 8); Lower East Side Ii (91 apartments, project-based section 8).

Tax-credit buildings have rents capped by area income instead.

27 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.
