Section 8 & Voucher Housing in 11106 — Astoria
ZIP code 11106 covers part of Astoria and Long Island City in Queens, one of the city's most diverse and well-connected neighborhoods. It is home to NYCHA's Ravenswood Houses, a large public housing development near the waterfront, along with other affordable buildings. The N and W subway lines put Midtown Manhattan minutes away, making this a popular area for voucher holders.
The largest are Catherine Sheridan Houses (241 apartments, project-based section 8); Spiti Housing For The Elderly (100 apartments, senior housing (62+)); Pca Senior Residence (66 apartments, senior housing (62+)); Hour Apartment House III at 3611 12th St (18 apartments, tax-credit affordable 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.
