Quick answerAs of October 18, 2026, applications are open on NYC Housing Connect for eight income-restricted apartments at 42-78 65th Place, a new nine-story building in Woodside, Queens. Five one-bedrooms rent for $869 or $1,399 a month, and three two-bedrooms for $1,611 to $3,000. Applications are due November 2, 2026. Voucher holders do not have to meet the minimum income.

Last checked: October 18, 2026, against the Housing Connect listing for lottery 7494, its rent table and the open-lottery search, which listed the lottery that day; every rent, count, income and the deadline below was compared with the listing at the start and end of the day. Also read that day: the Housing Connect FAQ; HPD's pages on Inclusionary Housing, 421-a and area median income, its MIH fact sheet and its guide Applying for Affordable Housing; CityFHEPS form DSS-8r (dated October 14, 2026); Department of Buildings job filings for new building job Q00576717, its permits, older filings and certificates of occupancy; the City's lot data, PLUTO; property records in ACRIS for Queens block 1342, lot 36; HPD's Affordable Housing Production by Building data (project 71964); the City Planning Commission's report of February 5, 2020, the Zoning Resolution's Appendix F and City Planning's MIH area data; HUD's Small Area Fair Market Rents; the MTA's station data; Reside New York's page for the building; and reports by QNS (November 12, 2024 and October 15, 2026) and New York YIMBY (November 9, 2024). The listing sets the rules; confirm there before you apply. How VoucherMatch reports these guides and corrects errors: how we report.
- 8apartments in the lottery, in a building of 29
- Nov. 2the 2026 application deadline
- $869the rent for each of the three 40% AMI one-bedrooms
- $3,000the highest rent, for one two-bedroom at 130% AMI
- $38,435the lowest yearly income the listing accepts without a voucher
- 9stories in the building's permit, 95 feet tall
- 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.
- Certificate of occupancyThe Department of Buildings' sign-off that a building, or part of it, can be lived in.
- Mandatory Inclusionary Housing (MIH)A zoning rule run by HPD. HPD says it "requires a share of new housing in medium- and high-density areas that are rezoned to promote new housing production" to "be permanently affordable."
- 421-aHPD calls it "a partial tax exemption for new multiple dwellings." HPD's page describes several versions with different dates and rules.
- 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.

Watch outthe listing's only picture shows the same design on a wide street with planted islands. Nothing ties it to this corner, so this report does not use it. The picture at the top is the architect's rendering, which matches YIMBY's 2024 account of the rendering on the site's construction board.

Can You Use CityFHEPS or Section 8 at 42-78 65th Place?
Yes, for most of the eight. Housing Connect accepts vouchers, and the minimum income does not apply to voucher holders. The six apartments at $869, $1,399 and $1,611 are far under the 2026 CityFHEPS maximums, even after utility allowances. The $3,000 two-bedroom is $3 over the maximum, and the $2,882 one goes over once electricity is counted.
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."
