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.
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.
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.
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

Only the $2,500 studio is under its 2026 CityFHEPS maximum, and only before utility allowances. The one-bedroom and two-bedroom rents are over their maximums even before allowances.

This was a city lottery on NYC Housing Connect, and the listing names HPD as its agency. The Housing Connect 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."

Key pointthe listing says "Tenant is responsible for electricity including stove and heat. Rent includes electricity for hot water". So the chart uses only the electric cooking and electric heat lines. DSS decides which allowances apply.

Five people in a two-bedroomDSS-8r pairs five or six people with $3,753. The two-bedroom is under it before allowances and $96 over with them.

How much do you have to earn for 34-20 Junction Boulevard?

From $91,475 a year for a studio, $103,372 for a one-bedroom and $132,275 for a two-bedroom. The top limit runs from $154,440 for one person to $238,160 for five people. The asset limit is $220,480. Households with a voucher or rental subsidy do not have to meet the minimum income.

Does 34-20 Junction Boulevard take Section 8 or CityFHEPS?

Housing Connect accepts both, but the rent must fit the voucher. Only the $2,500 studio is under its 2026 CityFHEPS maximum, $2,604, and it goes over once utility allowances are added. The one-bedroom and two-bedroom rents are over their maximums. Larger households get higher amounts, so ask DSS first.

Is 94-18 34th Avenue the same building as 34-20 Junction Boulevard?

Yes. The building permit and the certificate of occupancy use 94-18 34 Avenue for Queens block 1455, lot 7. That is the same lot as 34-20 Junction Boulevard, the lottery address. City Planning's 2022 project description puts the residential lobby on 34th Avenue and the store entrance on Junction Boulevard.
