What 485-x Means for These 19 Apartments

Which Rents a CityFHEPS or Section 8 Voucher Reaches

All three rents are under the 2026 CityFHEPS maximum for the same apartment size, and a voucher holder does not have to meet the minimum income.

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."

Watch outthe listing does not say which utilities the rent includes. If tenants pay some, CityFHEPS counts a utility allowance and the room under each maximum shrinks. This report subtracts nothing, because the listing names no utility.

How household size changes the CityFHEPS amount

One or two peopleDSS-8r gives $2,734 on that row. The one-bedroom fits. A two-person household in a $2,749 two-bedroom is $15 over that row. Ask DSS how it treats two people in a two-bedroom.

Five or more people$3,753 for five or six, $4,077 for seven or eight. Every rent fits.

How much do you have to earn for The East 176 Residences?

From $86,606 a year for a three-bedroom to $146,560 for five people in a two-bedroom. One or two people need at least $92,915 for a one-bedroom. Each type also has a maximum for each household size. With a voucher or rental subsidy, the Housing Connect FAQ says the minimum does not apply.

Does The East 176 Residences take Section 8 or CityFHEPS?

Yes. The Housing Connect FAQ accepts Section 8 and CityFHEPS, and minimum income does not apply with a voucher. All three rents are under the 2026 CityFHEPS maximum for their size: $188 under for a one-bedroom, $248 for a two-bedroom and $1,502 for a three-bedroom. Rent should still fit your program's limits.

Why is the three-bedroom cheaper than the one-bedroom?

Because it is set for a lower income level. The three-bedrooms are at 60% AMI and rent for $2,251. The one-bedrooms are at 90% AMI and rent for $2,546, which is $295 more. In this lottery, the rent follows the income level an apartment is set aside for, not only its size.
