New developments
How These Guides Are Reported
Each guide under New Developments reports one new building with income-restricted apartments. This page says where its figures come from, how they are checked, what a guide never claims and how an error gets fixed. The guides are written by the VoucherMatch Editorial Team.
Where each kind of fact comes from
The first source listed is used when it exists. Each guide links the pages it used under “Sources for this article”.
| Fact | Source |
|---|---|
| Rents, income ranges, apartment types, deadline, preferences, utilities and fees | The building’s official listing or application record, read on the day the guide is written and again on the day it is queued for publication |
| Height, total apartments, owner, architect and permit dates | Permit and planning records, cited by permit or case number |
| Number of income-restricted apartments and income levels, when no listing exists yet | The city housing department’s dataset, the council ordinance or the tax-credit award list |
| Developer, cost, financing and timeline | A press release or news article that was opened and read in full |
| Voucher payment standards, utility allowances and income limits | The agency’s own table for the current year |
| Area rents used for comparison | HUD Small Area Fair Market Rents for the building’s ZIP code, current fiscal year |
How the facts are handled
A fact has to be read at its source
A headline or a search result is not a source. If the page will not open, the guide finds another source or leaves the fact out.
Disagreements are printed
When a permit record and a news report give different apartment counts, the guide gives both and names each source. When a listing contradicts itself, the guide says so and tells the reader whom to ask.
What is not published is said
A building that has not published its rents gets a “known and not yet known” section. A program’s maximum rent is labelled as a maximum, never as the building’s rent.
Dates, deadlines and corrections
- Last checkedEvery guide names the documents it was checked against and the date. The state, city and borough pages show the date their newest guide was published.
- DeadlinesA guide is a report of what the listing said on its date. A deadline is given as a dated fact, and the guide is not rewritten after the date passes. Open the official page it links before you apply.
- CorrectionsA factual error is fixed in the guide with a dated correction line. To report one, write to help@vouchermatch.com with the building and the source that shows the right figure.
What a guide never states
- That an apartment is available, or that a waiting list is open, beyond what a dated official source says.
- That a voucher will be accepted. The guide quotes the local rule and compares the rents with the voucher limits.
- An estimated rent or income limit in place of a published one.
- A photograph from another news outlet, a stock photograph or an image made by AI. Pictures come from the building’s own listing, its leasing site, the developer, the architect or a government release, with the credit shown, and a rendering is called a rendering.
VoucherMatch does not take these applications
You apply through the lottery, city portal, housing agency or property manager the guide names, and the guide links to that official application. VoucherMatch is not a housing agency.
