The Lirio, 364 West 54th Street, Hell's Kitchen: 44 Affordable Apartments on Housing Connect From $863 a Month

Published October 23, 202623 min readBy VoucherMatch Editorial Team

Quick answerThe Lirio is a new nine-story building at 364 West 54th Street, on the corner of Ninth Avenue in Hell's Kitchen, Manhattan. NYC Housing Connect advertised 44 of its 112 apartments at $863 to $3,650 a month. Applications were due October 5, 2026. As of October 20, 2026, no newer listing is open. A voucher reaches 32 of the 44 rents, up to the 2026 CityFHEPS limit. The rest of the building is supportive housing.

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.

The Programs the Listing Names

The listing says the building "is being constructed through the Supportive Housing Loan Program and The Inclusionary Housing Program" of HPD.

The two programs in HPD's words

Supportive Housing Loan Program"Projects developed with SHLP funding must provide 60% of units for homeless, disabled individuals or homeless families with a disabled head-of-household. The remaining 40% can be rented to households from the community earning up to 60% of the Area Median Income."
Inclusionary Housing Program"The Inclusionary Housing Program (IHP) is designed to promote and preserve affordable housing where zoning has been modified to encourage new development." HPD lists several parts, including Mandatory and Voluntary Inclusionary Housing.
What no record sayswhich part of the Inclusionary Housing Program applies. The listing's top level, 120% AMI, is above the 60% on HPD's SHLP page.

What it means: no page opened explains how the two programs fit together here.

Does The Lirio take Section 8 or CityFHEPS?

Ask DSS or your housing authority first.
