HASA apartments in Queens
What HASA pays for a Queens apartment
HASA uses HRA’s Special Services Rent Payment Guidelines, effective September 10, 2025, and they are still current: HRA’s June 2026 HASA FAQ points to them for leases signed since then. Each amount is tied to household size and assumes the rent includes cooking gas, electricity, heat and hot water.
| Unit size | Household | HASA | CityFHEPS (2026) | HUD FMR, FY2027 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | 1 | $2,646 | $2,604 | $2,593 |
| 1 bedroom | 1 to 2 | $2,762 | $2,734 | $2,729 |
| 2 bedrooms | 3 to 4 | $3,058 | $2,997 | $2,971 |
| 3 bedrooms | 5 to 6 | $3,811 | $3,753 | $3,760 |
| 4 bedrooms | 7 to 8 | $4,111 | $4,077 | $4,121 |

HASA maximum rent against HUD’s FY2027 Fair Market Rent, New York metro
HASA’s maximum is above HUD’s FY2027 Fair Market Rent at every size up to three bedrooms ($3,058 against $2,971 for two), but $10 below it for four bedrooms.

Worked example: a one-bedroom in Queens
A hypothetical HASA client living alone with $1,600 a month in disability income rents a $2,600 one-bedroom in Jamaica, with all utilities included.
- The rent is within the $2,762 one-bedroom guideline for a household of one or two.
- The client’s share is 30% of gross income: $1,600 × 30% = $480 a month, paid to the landlord.
- HASA pays the rest, $2,120 a month, straight to the landlord in two semi-monthly checks.
- Before the lease, the HASA caseworker inspects the apartment, even if another agency already did.
Illustration only: the person, income and rent are hypothetical. Rules: HASA FAQ (SPSVC-18); the 30% cap is in NY Social Services Law §131-a(14). Clients with no income other than cash assistance follow different rules; ask the caseworker.
Where to go for HASA in Queens
HRA does not publish its HASA center addresses, and no Queens address appears on its HASA or locations pages. It says centers are “located in all 5 boroughs” and that ServiceLine assigns your caseworker. Start there:
- HASA ServiceLine: 718-557-1399, Monday to Friday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.; ServiceLine@hra.nyc.gov; walk-in at 400 Eighth Avenue, 2nd floor, Manhattan (HRA).
- To enroll, a medical or service provider usually refers you with form W-488X, M-11q or SSA-4814/4815, but you can contact ServiceLine yourself. Since 2016 any NYC resident diagnosed with HIV can enroll.
- If you are homeless, newly accepted HASA clients can request same-day housing placement at ServiceLine.
- Queens by the numbers: HASA served 3,762 clients living in Queens in September 2026, 10.6% of its 35,132 cases. HRA notes there are no non-emergency congregate facilities in Queens (HASA Facts, September 2026).
Searching for a HASA apartment in Queens
- Rent must include at least heat and hot water, except in Housing Connect and other lottery apartments. Apartments with every utility included let you use the full maximum.
- Broker fees: HRA has not published a HASA rule on paying a broker fee or security deposit. Under the city’s FARE Act, in effect since June 11, 2025, a broker hired by the landlord cannot charge you (DCWP). Your caseworker can give you a list of brokers who have helped HASA clients before.
- Neighborhood guides: most HASA-tagged Queens listings on VoucherMatch are in Far Rockaway and Jamaica. See HASA in Jamaica, HASA in Far Rockaway and HASA in South Ozone Park, or browse Jamaica and Far Rockaway listings.
- Brokers: read what brokers need for a HASA deal.
A landlord who refuses HASA breaks the city’s Human Rights Law: the NYC Commission on Human Rights names HASA as a lawful source of income (CCHR). Report it through 311 or at 212-416-0197.

Where the HASA maximum reaches in Queens
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 Queens two-bedroom ranges from $2,620 to $4,380 depending on the ZIP code. In 25 of the 66 ZIP codes in Queens, HUD’s two-bedroom figure is at or below the HASA maximum. In the other 41, it is above.
- ZIP codes where HUD’s 2-bedroom figure is at or below $3,058
- 25 of 66
- Lowest HUD 2-bedroom figure

- Highest HUD 2-bedroom figure
- $4,380

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.

How renting with HASA works in Queens
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 Queens 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 Queens 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).

HASA in Queens: common questions
What is the HASA rent limit in Queens?
HASA rent limits in Queens are the same as in the rest of New York City. Studio: $2,646, 1BR: $2,762, 2BR: $3,058, 3BR: $3,811. These ceilings assume utilities are included; HRA must approve the apartment and household assistance.
How many HASA apartments are available in Queens?
19 active listings on VoucherMatch in Queens name HASA today. The number changes as landlords post and fill apartments.
How do I apply for a HASA apartment in Queens?
Open a listing and send the landlord a message or an application through VoucherMatch. It is free. Have your HASA paperwork ready, because landlords usually ask for it first.
Who qualifies for HASA rental assistance in Queens?
Any NYC resident diagnosed with HIV or AIDS can enroll in HASA, and since 2016 no symptoms are required. Rental assistance and cash benefits also require household income under 200% of the federal poverty level. The rules are the same in all five boroughs.
Is there a waitlist for HASA?
No. HASA has no waitlist or lottery. Eligibility is medical and financial, and enrollment is open year-round through ServiceLine.
Can I rent an apartment priced above the HASA maximum?
Generally no. HASA approves apartments within its rent guidelines for your household size. Exceptions need documented extenuating circumstances and go through your caseworker.
Does HASA pay the security deposit and broker fee?
HRA has not published a HASA rule on either, so ask your caseworker before you commit to a unit. Under the FARE Act, a broker the landlord hired cannot charge you a fee; only a broker you hire yourself may.
How does the landlord get paid?
HASA pays the landlord directly on a semi-monthly schedule. If you have a share of the rent, you pay it to the landlord yourself.
Can I have HASA and Section 8 at the same time?
You can receive HASA services while holding a Section 8 voucher you already have. The rent side is coordinated between the programs, so ask your caseworker how your subsidies interact.
Where is the HASA office in Queens?
HRA does not publish the addresses of its HASA centers. It says centers are in all five boroughs and that HASA ServiceLine assigns your caseworker and center. Call ServiceLine at 718-557-1399, Monday to Friday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., or visit 400 Eighth Avenue, 2nd floor, in Manhattan.
How much does HASA pay for a 2-bedroom in Queens?
Up to $3,058 a month for a household of three or four when the rent includes all utilities, under HRA’s Special Services Rent Payment Guidelines effective September 10, 2025. If you pay any utilities, HRA subtracts an allowance. The same amounts apply in every borough.
Is HASA a Section 8 voucher?
No. HRA’s HASA FAQ says this rental assistance “is not CityFHEPS or voucher programs.” HASA approves an apartment and pays the landlord directly, twice a month. People often call it a HASA voucher, and landlords who accept vouchers usually accept it too.
How much rent do I pay with HASA?
If you have income other than cash assistance, you pay 30% of your gross household income toward the rent and HASA pays the rest, up to its guideline. New York law caps the share at 30% for HASA clients in New York City.
Can a Queens landlord refuse HASA?
No. The NYC Commission on Human Rights lists HASA by name as a lawful source of income, and refusing it has been illegal since 2008. Report it through 311 (ask for Human Rights) or at 212-416-0197.
