Section 8 & Voucher Housing in 10029 — East Harlem

ZIP code 10029 covers much of East Harlem (El Barrio) in upper Manhattan. It is home to NYCHA's Thomas Jefferson Houses, along with many other developments and affordable buildings. Served by the 6 train and bus routes, it is a long-established affordable-housing community for voucher holders.

The largest are George Washington Houses (1960 apartments, public housing); 1199 Plaza (1594 apartments, project-based section 8); East River Houses (1555 apartments, public housing); Senator Robert A. Taft Houses (1470 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.

71 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.
