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.

What Urban Horizons at 50 East 168th Street Is

Urban Horizons is an existing building, not new construction. It is a 1926 hospital building that was turned into apartments in the 1990s, and it is now in a City preservation program.

Names: Housing Connect calls the lottery "Urban Horizons 1 Waiting List". WHEDco, whose website the listing links, calls the building Urban Horizons. PLUTO writes the address as 50 East 168 Street.
The past: WHEDco says "Morrisania Hospital served a population of mostly second generation immigrants for decades before closing its doors in 1976."
The conversion: Department of Buildings job 200321124, filed April 5, 1995, was to "change use of existing hospital (Morrisania Hospital)" to apartments, a school, a community center and medical offices. It planned 132 apartments in 10 stories, 160 feet tall.
Size today: the listing says "Urban Horizons is a 132-unit rehabilitated residential development". PLUTO lists 10 floors and three buildings on the lot.
Owner: ACRIS shows a February 6, 2018 deed from Urban Horizons Tax Credit Fund, L.P. to Urban Horizons Housing Development Fund Corp.

The Programs the Listing Names

The listing says the building "will receive an Article XI tax exemption through the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Preservation (Year 15) Program" of HPD and the Housing Development Corporation. The lottery description adds "LIHTC Year 15 and Article XI program".

The two programs, in HPD's words

Year 15HPD says the program "ensures the future financial and physical viability and preserves the long-term affordability of Low-Income Housing Tax Credit ("tax credit") properties."
What it can give"residential real estate tax exemptions, below-market loans, and/or extensions or modifications of existing HPD mortgages".
Article XI"a tax exemption for HDFC-owned new construction or rehabilitation of affordable housing." HPD says it can last "for up to 40 years".
An HDFC"a corporation formed to build low-income housing."

What it means: no document opened gives the length of this building's exemption or rent rules.

Which Rents a CityFHEPS or Section 8 Voucher Reaches

Every rent on the list is under the 2026 CityFHEPS maximum for its 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 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."

Is Urban Horizons the old Morrisania Hospital?

Yes. WHEDco says the building was Morrisania Hospital, built in 1926 and closed in 1976. A 1995 building job turned the "existing hospital (Morrisania Hospital)" into 132 apartments, a school, a community center and medical offices. WHEDco says the work was finished in 1997, and the job was signed off July 23, 1997.

What does "Waiting List" mean in the Urban Horizons lottery?

It means the list fills apartments as they come open. HPD's Marketing Handbook says a waiting-list lottery "follows the same processes as an advertised lottery but can be used for ongoing turnover." The listing names 4 vacant apartments and 83 in all. It gives no length for the list. The hotline, 212-863-7990, can say more.

Are the rents at 50 East 168th Street below market?

Yes, against HUD's figure. Every rent is below HUD's fiscal year 2027 fair market rent for ZIP code 10452. The highest two-bedroom rent, $2,187, is $433 under HUD's $2,620. HUD's figure includes utilities, and tenants here pay for electricity, so the gap is smaller in practice.
