Section 8 & Voucher Housing in 10035 — East Harlem

ZIP code 10035 covers East Harlem (El Barrio) in upper Manhattan, near the Harlem River and the FDR Drive. It is home to NYCHA's Wagner Houses, one of the largest public housing developments in Manhattan, along with many other subsidized buildings. The 6 train and bus routes serve the area, a long-established affordable-housing community for Housing Choice Voucher holders.

The largest are Senator Robert F. Wagner Sr. Houses (2153 apartments, public housing); Taino Towers (656 apartments, project-based section 8); 1775 Houses (255 apartments, project-based section 8); Lexington Court (229 apartments, project-based section 8). 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.

54 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.
