- 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.
- 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.

Which Rents a CityFHEPS or Section 8 Voucher Reaches
Every listed rent is under the 2026 CityFHEPS maximum for its size, even after the utility allowance. With a voucher, the minimum income does not apply.
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."

| Apartment size | Lowest rent | Highest rent | CityFHEPS maximum |

| Two-bedroom | $1,543 | $2,272 | $2,997 |
| Three-bedroom | $1,767 | $2,610 | $3,753 |

Source: rents from the Housing Connect listing; maximums from DSS-8r, in effect since April 1, 2026, "if all utilities are included in the lease."
The listing says: "Rent includes heating and hot water. Tenant responsible for electricity and electric stove." So VoucherMatch took off DSS-8r's "Electric with Cooking Range" allowance. It is $111 for a studio and $126 for a one-bedroom. It is $167 for a two-bedroom and $209 for a three-bedroom. The highest rents still sit $976, $700, $558 and $934 under.

Frequently Asked Questions
Was Brownsville Crossing on NYC Housing Connect?
Yes. Brownsville Crossing was Housing Connect lottery 7413. It offered 34 apartments at 216 Sackman Street, 177 Hegeman Avenue and 47 New Lots Avenue in Brownsville. Applications opened February 12, 2026. They were due April 14, 2026. On October 23, 2026, the City's data listed it in "Tenant Selection," and it was not in the open-lottery search.
What is the rent at Brownsville Crossing?
Rents run from $545 a month for a studio at 30% AMI to $2,610 for a three-bedroom at 70% AMI. One more three-bedroom charges 30% of income and needs Section 8. Heat and hot water are included. Tenants pay electricity, including the electric stove. These are the listing's figures as read October 23, 2026.
How much do you have to earn for Brownsville Crossing?
Without a voucher, you need at least $22,492 a year, for a 30% AMI studio. The most is $147,280, for seven people in a 70% AMI three-bedroom. Each apartment has its own range by household size. With a voucher or rental subsidy, the minimum income does not apply, the FAQ says. But the rent must fit your program.
Does Brownsville Crossing take Section 8 or CityFHEPS?
Yes. The Housing Connect FAQ accepts Section 8 and CityFHEPS, and minimum income does not apply with a voucher. Every listed rent is under the 2026 CityFHEPS maximum for its size, even after the electric allowance. One three-bedroom at 47 New Lots Avenue requires Section 8, and its tenant pays 30% of income.
Is 216 Sackman Street the same as 120 Liberty Avenue?
Yes, by city records. City Planning's address search puts 216 Sackman Street and 120 Liberty Avenue on Brooklyn block 3693, lot 22. Building permits use 120 Liberty Avenue; Housing Connect uses 216 Sackman Street. Likewise, 177 Hegeman Avenue and 609 Osborn Street share block 3628, lot 9, and PLUTO calls it 615 Osborn Street.
Is Brownsville Crossing the same as Brownsville South?
Yes. HPD's production data lists the three buildings as project 65600, "BROWNSVILLE SOUTH," with 42 apartments. Housing Connect and the developer Alembic call it Brownsville Crossing. The owners on the 2023 loans are Brownsville Crossing Owner LLC and HP South Liberty Housing Development Fund Company. All three lots were City-owned before November 2023.
Are the rents at Brownsville Crossing below market?
Yes, by HUD's measure. Every listed rent is below HUD's fiscal year 2027 fair market rent for ZIP code 11212. The highest studio rent is $763 under it, and the highest three-bedroom rent is $670 under. HUD's figures include utilities, and tenants here pay electricity, so the real gap is a little smaller.
