A new affordable housing lottery is taking applications for apartments at 2102 Union Street in Brownsville, Brooklyn, an 11-story mixed-use building with 96 homes, New York YIMBY reported Thursday morning.

Figures below are from the New York YIMBY listing summary, which draws on the Housing Connect posting. Each apartment has a minimum and maximum household income that depends on household size.

Unit counts differ slightly across listing sites. The rents above add up to 19 apartments, and Fair Shot Housing and Weverit, which republish Housing Connect data, also list 19 income-restricted units, for households of one to seven people, with rents of $1,933 to $2,456. Check the official Housing Connect listing for the final count and the exact income band for your household size.
How to apply
- Apply through NYC Housing Connect, the city's official portal run by HPD, or by mail using the paper application listed there. Third-party sites only summarize the listing.
- Count everyone who will move in, including children. Your household's total yearly income before taxes has to fall inside the range for the unit size you apply for.
- Applying is free. No one may charge you to apply or promise you a better spot in the lottery.
Other open Brooklyn lotteries with the same Nov. 18 deadline include 1058 Pacific Street in Crown Heights, where rents start at $975.
