Where the HASA maximum reaches in Brooklyn
HASA uses one maximum for the whole city: $3,058 for a two-bedroom and $3,811 for a three-bedroom. HUD’s FY2027 estimate of a typical Brooklyn two-bedroom ranges from $2,620 to $4,460 depending on the ZIP code. In 23 of the 38 ZIP codes in Brooklyn, HUD’s two-bedroom figure is at or below the HASA maximum. In the other 15, it is above.

What this changes in a search
- In ZIP codes marked “under,” the HASA maximum is above HUD’s estimate, so more of the apartments there are likely to fit your voucher.
- In ZIP codes marked “over,” HUD’s estimate is above the maximum, so fewer apartments will fit. Check the posted rent and the utility arrangement before you travel to a viewing.
- HUD’s figure is a 40th-percentile estimate: some standard-quality apartments in every ZIP code rent for less. It is a benchmark, not the HASA limit and not an approval.

HUD Small Area Fair Market Rents for FY2027, which began October 1, 2026, are estimates of 40th-percentile gross rent (rent plus utilities) for standard-quality units, calculated by ZIP code. HASA’s maximum follows household size (a two-bedroom for three or four people, a three-bedroom for five or six) and assumes the rent includes all utilities; if you pay utilities, HRA subtracts an allowance. Sources: HUD FY2027 Small Area FMRs (XLSX), HUD’s Fair Market Rent definition, HRA Special Services Rent Payment Guidelines (PDF).

How renting with HASA works in Brooklyn
HASA rental assistance is available to NYC residents diagnosed with HIV or AIDS whose household income is under 200% of the federal poverty level. There is no waitlist and no lottery. Once you are enrolled, the search for a private apartment in Brooklyn runs through your HASA caseworker, who approves the rent and inspects the unit.
The hard part is rarely the program. It is finding a landlord who already knows how HASA pays. The listings on this page are apartments in Brooklyn whose landlords have said they accept it.
- 1
Enroll through ServiceLine
Everything starts with HASA ServiceLine at 718-557-1399, Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM. You do not need a referral. If you are homeless, say so: HRA says newly accepted HASA clients who are homeless can request same-day housing placement at ServiceLine, 400 Eighth Avenue in Manhattan.
- 2
Get your medical and income paperwork in
Your medical provider documents the HIV or AIDS diagnosis. Since 2016 no symptoms are required. For rental assistance you also show that household income is under 200% of the federal poverty level, using pay stubs, an SSI or SSD award letter, or a benefits statement.
- 3
Work with your caseworker
HASA assigns you a caseworker at one of its centers, which are located in all five boroughs. That person approves apartments, inspects units, and processes your benefits. Get their direct contact details and follow up in writing when something stalls.
- 4
Search at or under the HASA rent level
HASA generally will not approve an apartment priced above its rent guideline for your household size, so filter by rent before you schedule viewings. Apartments with all utilities included let you use the full maximum.
- 5
Inspection and approval
When you find a unit, your caseworker inspects it. This is a HASA inspection, not a Section 8 HQS inspection. If it passes and the rent fits the guideline, the caseworker approves it and the paperwork is finalized.
- 6
Payments start
HASA pays the landlord directly, twice a month. Landlords who are new to the program are sometimes surprised by the semi-monthly schedule, so mention it when you first talk about the lease.
What HASA pays and what you pay
HASA sets its own rent guidelines (HRA Special Services Rent Payment Guidelines, effective September 10, 2025): $2,646 for a studio, $2,762 for a one-bedroom, $3,058 for a two-bedroom, and $3,811 for a three-bedroom, when all utilities are included. If you pay some utilities yourself, a utility allowance is subtracted from the maximum.
If you have no income, HASA pays the full approved rent. If you have income from a job, SSI, SSD, or another source, you pay 30% of your gross household income toward rent and HASA pays the rest, up to the maximum.
HRA has not published a HASA rule on paying a security deposit or a broker fee, so ask your caseworker before you agree to either. Under the city's FARE Act, in effect since June 11, 2025, a broker hired by the landlord cannot charge you a fee.
If a landlord will not take HASA
A landlord or broker in New York City cannot turn you down because your rent is paid through HASA. That is source-of-income discrimination, illegal under the NYC Human Rights Law since 2008 and under the NYS Human Rights Law statewide.
The common versions: the apartment is suddenly "no longer available" once you mention the program, an ad that says "no programs," a higher rent quoted to voucher holders, or a "40 times the rent" income rule applied to you even though the program pays most of the rent.
Write down the date, the address, and who you spoke to, and keep any texts or emails. You can report it to the NYC Commission on Human Rights at 212-416-0197 or to the HRA Source of Income Discrimination Team at 929-221-6576 (soi@dss.nyc.gov).
