Words used in this report

Area median income (AMI)The middle income for the area, adjusted for household size. A lottery apartment "at 60% AMI" is for households earning up to about 60% of it. The agency's income chart turns each level into dollar limits.
Lottery (NYC Housing Connect)Every complete application gets a random log number. The marketing agent works through applications in log-number order within each preference group, so applying early does not help.
Minimum incomeThe lowest yearly income the listing accepts for an apartment, so the rent is not too large a share of income. Housing Connect does not apply it to households with a voucher or rental subsidy.
Marketing agentThe company the building hires to run its lottery and check applicants' papers.
Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8)Rental help run by a housing authority. You find a home, and the agency checks the unit, rent and your household before it approves payment.
CityFHEPS (New York City)The City Fighting Homelessness and Eviction Prevention Supplement: a City-funded rent supplement that the Department of Social Services (DSS) pays straight to the landlord.
Payment standard (the CityFHEPS maximum in this report)An amount the agency uses to work out housing assistance for a unit size and area. It does not mean that any home at that rent will be approved.
Utility allowanceThe agency's estimate of the cost of utilities you must pay. It is not a promise to pay your actual bills.
FMR and SAFMRHUD rent estimates for an area (Fair Market Rent) or ZIP code (Small Area Fair Market Rent). They include rent and most tenant-paid utilities. Your agency may use a different payment standard.
Certificate of occupancyThe Department of Buildings' sign-off that a building, or part of it, can be lived in.

Which Rents a CityFHEPS or Section 8 Voucher Reaches

All three rents are well under the 2026 CityFHEPS maximum for their size. They stay under it after utility allowances for electricity, cooking, heat and hot water are taken off.

This was a city lottery on NYC Housing Connect, run under HPD. The FAQ says: "Minimum income requirements do not apply if you have a voucher or a rental subsidy. However, rent should be within maximum limits allowed by your voucher or rental assistance program."

Source: rents from the Housing Connect listing; maximums from DSS-8r, effective April 1, 2026, which gives them "if all utilities are included in the lease"; the last column is VoucherMatch's arithmetic, taking off the DSS-8r "Electric with Cooking Range" and "Total (Electric Heat & Hot Water)" allowances.

Key pointthe listing says "Tenants are responsible for electricity, including stove, hot water, and heat." So this report took off "Electric with Cooking Range" ($111, $126, $167) and "Total (Electric Heat & Hot Water)" ($89, $106, $138), studio to two-bedroom.

How far under each limit, by apartment

Studio, $1,546$1,058 under the maximum, and $858 under it after allowances.
One-bedroom, $1,620$1,114 under, and $882 after allowances.
Two-bedroom, $1,881$1,116 under, and $811 after allowances.
Credit checkthe FAQ says "Applicants qualifying with rental subsidy are not subject to a credit check or review of rental history."

What it means: DSS decides the amount for a household. Ask your caseworker before you sign anything.
