6-05 129th Street Housing Lottery in College Point: 4 Apartments From $2,200 a Month, Applications Due November 11, 2026

Published October 19, 202623 min readBy VoucherMatch Editorial Team

Quick answerAs of October 18, 2026, NYC Housing Connect lists lottery 7676, "6-05 129th Street Apartments", with four apartments at 130% AMI in a new 12-apartment building in College Point, Queens. Two one-bedrooms rent for $2,200 a month and two two-bedrooms for $2,500. The listing's deadline is November 11, 2026, but the lottery was not in Housing Connect's open-lottery search that day. Voucher holders do not have to meet the minimum income, and both rents are under the 2026 CityFHEPS maximums.

Last checked: October 18, 2026, against the Housing Connect listing for lottery 7676, its rent table and the open-lottery search, which did not list it 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; the City's data on past Housing Connect lotteries; HPD's pages on 421-a, area median income and re-rentals, and its guide Applying for Affordable Housing; CityFHEPS form DSS-8r (dated October 14, 2026); Department of Buildings job filings, older filings and permits for new building job 421609076, and its certificates of occupancy; the City's lot data, PLUTO; property records in ACRIS for Queens block 3959, lot 13; HUD's Small Area Fair Market Rents; the MTA's station data and bus and rail schedules; Reside New York's page for the building; and a New York YIMBY report of May 21, 2018. The listing sets the rules; confirm there before you apply. How VoucherMatch reports these guides and corrects errors: how we report.

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.
Certificate of occupancyThe Department of Buildings' sign-off that a building, or part of it, can be lived in.
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.

Key pointthe listing sums up the lottery as "4 units being leased up at 130% AMI". It does not explain those words, and the Housing Connect FAQ does not use them. No earlier Housing Connect lottery at this address was found in the City's data on 1,754 Housing Connect lotteries or in listings numbered 7000 to 7800. The listing does not describe the other eight apartments.

Key pointtenants pay every utility here. The listing says "Tenant is responsible for electricity and Gas including stove heat and hot water". Utility costs come on top of the rent.

Watch outthe asset limit is $220,480 for all four apartments, the rent table says. The FAQ says retirement and college savings balances "are not subject to the asset limit".

Can You Use CityFHEPS or Section 8 at 6-05 129th Street?

Yes. Housing Connect accepts vouchers, and the minimum income does not apply to voucher holders. Both rents are under the 2026 CityFHEPS maximum for their size, even with utility allowances.

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."

November 11, 2026, according to the Housing Connect listing read on October 18, 2026. That day, lottery 7676 was not in Housing Connect's open-lottery search, so it did not look open.
