- 5Inspection. NYCHA typically schedules the inspection within five business days of accepting the packet.

Is the Section 8 waitlist open in Highbridge?
There is no separate waitlist for Highbridge. NYCHA's citywide list last opened for one week in June 2024 and is closed. On August 1, 2025, NYCHA also paused issuing vouchers to the general waitlist, and that pause is still in effect. HPD vouchers come through city agency referrals, and HCR opens its list rarely. Applications are always free.
Can I rent an apartment that costs more than the payment standard?
Yes, which is different from CityFHEPS. You pay the difference yourself, but when you first lease up your total housing cost (rent plus utilities) cannot be more than 40% of your adjusted income.
How long do I have to find an apartment with my voucher?
With a NYCHA voucher, 120 days plus an automatic 60-day extension, for 180 days in total. Extensions beyond that are decided case by case, so request one before the voucher expires. If HPD or HCR issued your voucher, ask them for your deadline.
