IMPACCT Myrtle Residences, 778 Myrtle Avenue, Bedford-Stuyvesant: 23 Housing Connect Apartments From $814 a Month

Published October 23, 202622 min readBy VoucherMatch Editorial Team

Quick answerIMPACCT Myrtle Residences is a new nine-story building at 778 Myrtle Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. In 2026, NYC Housing Connect ran a lottery for 23 of its 60 apartments. Rents were $814 to $2,655 a month, at 40%, 60% and 80% AMI. Applications were due February 16, 2026. City records say most other apartments are supportive housing. Every lottery rent is under the 2026 CityFHEPS maximum. As of October 21, 2026, the lottery was not open.

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.

What Was Built at 778 Myrtle Avenue

778 Myrtle Avenue is a new nine-story building with 60 apartments. It has a store space on the ground floor. It was built on empty City land.

Names: Housing Connect calls the lottery "IMPACCT Myrtle Residences". The listing's own text says "Impacct Myrtle Senior Residences". HPD's data calls the project "IMPACCT BK. 776-780 MYRTLE AVE". The architect calls it "778 myrtle residence".
Permit: job 321596402 is a new building filing for nine stories, 93 feet and 60 dwelling units. It was pre-filed December 13, 2019.
Owner: the permit names IMPACCT Myrtle Residences L.P. and marks the owner as a nonprofit. ACRIS shows the City deeded the land on December 22, 2022. It went to 778 Myrtle Housing Development Fund Corporation.
Developer and architect: the City Planning report says "IMPACCT Brooklyn are the developers for this project". The architect is Urban Architectural Initiatives, on its own project page.
Builder and cost: the architect's page names Mega Contracting Corp. and gives a cost of "$22 million".

Where the sources differ on the building

Apartmentsthe permit, the certificates, PLUTO and HPD say 60. The 2019 City Planning report says "a total of 59 affordable residential units" plus "one superintendent's unit".
Heightthe permit says 93 feet. The City Planning report says "a height of 97 feet".
Supportive countHPD's data lists 36 "extremely low income" units. The architect's page also gives 36 studio units for supportive housing. The Supportive Housing Network of New York says "60 new affordable apartments, including 30 supportive".
Heatthe listing says "Rent includes gas for heating and hot water." The architect calls it a "nearly fully electric building".

What it means: ask the Housing Connect hotline which fuel heats the apartments before counting utility costs.

The Supportive Apartments at 778 Myrtle Avenue

The lottery covered 23 of the 60 apartments. Most of the rest are supportive housing. HRA says: "Supportive housing is affordable housing with supportive social services in place for individuals and families who are homeless or at risk of homelessness."

What official records say about the supportive apartments

How manyHPD's data lists 36 of 60 units at "extremely low income". The City Planning report says "Over 50 percent of these units would be supportive housing reserved for formerly homeless households."
Servicesthe report places "social services, administrative offices, and programmatic space" in the cellar. The listing names a "social services office".
The programthe listing names the "Supportive Housing programs" of HPD. HPD's loan program "must provide 60% of units for homeless, disabled individuals or homeless families with a disabled head-of-household."
Rent shareHRA says tenants in single-building supportive housing "are responsible to contribute 30% of their income towards rent and utilities."

How people are referred: HRA says "All prospective tenants must work with a pre-approved social service or health provider to complete and submit an HRA 2010e application." A clinical team at HRA then decides eligibility.
After approval: HRA says the application packet "will be submitted to housing providers by designated placement agencies". Its page adds that a packet is sent "Only when a vacancy comes available or a new program is developed".
Who runs the services: the Network's post says services are "provided by IMPACCT Brooklyn, funded through the NYC 15/15 initiative". No City page opened names the provider.

The Programs the Listing Names

The listing names three programs. One is the state's "Low-Income Housing Tax Credit program". The others are HPD's "Inclusionary Housing and Supportive Housing programs". It names no 421-a or 485-x tax break.

Inclusionary Housing: HPD says the program "is designed to promote and preserve affordable housing where zoning has been modified to encourage new development." HPD runs voluntary and mandatory versions. No record opened says which one applies here.
Supportive Housing Loan Program: HPD says these loans go to developers "of permanent supportive housing with on-site social services". The Network's post says the City subsidy came "through the supportive housing loan program by NYC HPD".

Which Rents a CityFHEPS or Section 8 Voucher Reaches

All nine rents are under the 2026 CityFHEPS maximum for their size. A voucher holder does not have to meet the minimum income.

This was a city lottery on NYC Housing Connect, and the listing names HPD among its agencies. 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."

At least $31,715 a year for a 40% AMI studio. The 40% one-bedroom starts at $39,498 and the two-bedroom at $45,669. The most is $95,040 for one person and $146,560 for five, at 80% AMI. A household with a voucher does not have to meet the minimum.

Is IMPACCT Myrtle Residences supportive or senior housing?

Mostly supportive. The City Planning report says over half the units would be "supportive housing reserved for formerly homeless households". HPD's data lists 36 units at extremely low income. HRA says supportive housing is reached through a provider's 2010e application. The listing's text says "Senior Residences", but its 23 lottery apartments post no age rule.

Does 778 Myrtle Avenue take Section 8 or CityFHEPS?

Yes. The Housing Connect FAQ says Section 8 and CityFHEPS are "all accepted" in its lotteries. All nine lottery rents are under the 2026 CityFHEPS maximums. With the tenant-paid electric stove line taken off, VoucherMatch's arithmetic still puts every rent under. DSS decides which utility lines apply.

Is 778 Myrtle Avenue the same as 776-780 Myrtle Avenue?

Yes. The City approved the sale of 776-780 Myrtle Avenue, Brooklyn block 1754, for this building in 2019. HPD's data names the project "IMPACCT BK. 776-780 MYRTLE AVE". The building's address is 778 Myrtle Avenue, ZIP code 11206, in Bedford-Stuyvesant, between Nostrand and Marcy avenues.

Are the rents at 778 Myrtle Avenue below market?
