MTA lists East Broadway and Delancey St–Essex St on the F line. Neither station is listed as ADA accessible in its F line guide.
If you need a step-free trip, check the full route and current station access before choosing a listing. A nearby subway entrance may not meet that need.

Use the agency on your voucher
The advertised rent alone cannot answer that. Your housing agency checks the unit, your voucher size, the rent and which utilities you pay. Its payment standard helps calculate the subsidy; it is not a guaranteed rent approval.
If NYCHA handles your voucher
NYCHA stopped using exception payment standards by ZIP for new rentals and transfers on July 1, 2026. Do not assume 10002 gets a higher NYCHA standard. Ask which rent and utility figures apply to your voucher size and move.
NYCHA payment standards and utilitiesIf HPD handles your voucher
HPD has its own subsidy rules, payment standards and utility allowances. Enter 10002 or the unit's street address in HPD's lookup. Ask HPD which standard applies; NYCHA's ZIP policy does not answer that for an HPD voucher.
HPD standards and address lookupIf another agency issued your voucher, contact that agency about the move. CityFHEPS is a different program; its rent limits are not Section 8 limits. Use the Manhattan CityFHEPS page if that is the voucher you hold.
For broader program and rent guidance, read the New York City Section 8 guide. Federal rent benchmarks are different from your agency's adopted payment standard and the rent it approves.
Agency guidance checked October 18, 2026; local facts checked October 18, 2026. How VoucherMatch reviews this page.
Ask for the full address, apartment number, monthly rent, bedroom count and proposed move-in date. A listing can stay online after a unit is taken.
Ask which utilities you pay and request any fees in writing. If needed, ask about a step-free entrance, elevator and the unit’s layout.
Send the rent, address and utility details to the agency on your voucher. Ask about the paperwork, inspection and approval steps before you commit.
If your search is taking longer than expected, contact your agency before the voucher expires to ask about next steps.
