How income-based apartments in Bronx work

Every property above has a contract with HUD that pays part of the rent on specific apartments. Tenants pay about 30% of their adjusted household income and HUD pays the owner the difference. Because the assistance belongs to the apartment, you do not need a voucher to move in, and you do not take the assistance with you when you leave.

Each property runs its own waiting list. There is no single application for Bronx: call the properties that fit your household, ask whether the list is open, and apply to as many as you like. Senior properties are age-restricted, usually to 62 and older.

The new buildings work differently from one to the next. Most set a fixed rent for each apartment size and a range of income they accept, and some hold apartments whose rent is based on income. Each building's guide gives its rents, its income range and how it takes applications, read from the building's own listing and public records.

Income limits in Bronx County (FY2026)

Most of these properties admit households at or below the very low income limit (the middle column). At least 40% of the apartments that open each year go to extremely low income households (24 CFR 5.653).

Other low income housing in the Bronx

The list above covers privately owned buildings with a HUD rent-assistance contract or housing tax credits. Two other routes are not in it, and each has its own application.

Housing lotteries. New and re-rented income-restricted apartments are advertised on NYC Housing Connect, the city's lottery site. Each listing sets its own household income and size requirements. There is no fee to apply and no broker fee; the city warns against paid services that claim to speed up an application.

Public housing. NYCHA developments take applications through NYCHA, not through the buildings. How to apply for NYCHA public housing.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get a low income apartment in Bronx?
Apply directly to each property. The 18 properties on this page have rent assistance attached to the apartments, and each one keeps its own waiting list, so you can apply to several at once. Call the office, ask whether the list is open, and ask how to get an application. This is separate from applying for a Section 8 voucher at the housing authority, and you can do both.
How much is rent in income-based apartments in Bronx?
Tenants pay about 30% of their adjusted household income, and HUD pays the rest to the owner. Across the properties here that report it, households pay an average of $593 a month toward rent and utilities. For comparison, HUD's FY2027 Fair Market Rent for a one-bedroom in Bronx County is $2,729.
What income qualifies for low income housing in Bronx?
Most of these properties admit households at or below the very low income limit, which is 50% of the area median for your household size. In Bronx County for FY2026 that is $59,400 a year for one person and $84,800 for four. Some older properties admit households up to the low income limit (80%).
Do I need a Section 8 voucher for these apartments?
No. In project-based Section 8, Section 202 and Section 811 properties the subsidy is attached to the apartment. You do not bring a voucher, and you do not keep the assistance if you move out. A voucher cannot be stacked on an apartment that is already subsidized, so if you already hold one, look for a landlord who accepts it instead.
