If you already have a housing voucher

A Housing Choice Voucher pays part of the rent in a privately owned apartment you find yourself. It cannot be used in an apartment that is already subsidized, so the 239 income-based apartments here are not an option for it. Browse landlords in Brooklyn who accept vouchers.

Frequently asked questions

How do I apply to Newport Gardens?
Apply to the property, not to the housing authority. Call the office at (917) 716-3262 and ask whether the waiting list is open and how to get an application. Newport Gardens keeps its own waiting list, separate from the Section 8 voucher list. Expect to show ID, Social Security numbers and proof of income for everyone in the household.
What is the income limit for Newport Gardens?
Household income usually has to be at or below the very low income limit (50% of the area median). Properties whose HUD contract dates from before October 1981 may admit households up to the low income limit (80%). Either way, at least 40% of the apartments that open each year go to extremely low income households (24 CFR 5.653). In Kings County the FY2026 very low income limit is $59,400 a year for one person and $84,800 for a household of four.
How much is rent at Newport Gardens?
Residents pay about 30% of their adjusted income toward rent and a HUD contract with the property covers the rest. HUD's most recent resident data shows households here paying an average of $545 a month toward rent and utilities. Your own share is calculated from your household's income when you move in and again each year.
Do I need a Section 8 voucher to live at Newport Gardens?
No. This is Project-based Section 8: the assistance is attached to the apartment, not to the tenant, so it is there when you move in and stays behind when you move out. One apartment is not subsidized; ask the office whether a Housing Choice Voucher can be used there.
