How It Works
Three steps. Set it up once. We handle everything else.
We Monitor Housing Connect
Our system scans NYC Housing Connect multiple times every day across all five boroughs — capturing new lotteries the moment they go live.
- All 5 boroughs covered
- Checks multiple times daily
- NYC Open Data — official source
We Match Your Preferences
Every new listing is automatically filtered against your saved profile — borough, minimum bedrooms, and income band. You only see lotteries you actually qualify for.
- Filter by borough
- Filter by bedroom size
- Matched to your income band
You Get an Instant Alert
The moment a matching lottery opens, you get an email with the full details — rent, income requirements, deadline, and a direct link to apply on Housing Connect.
- Sent within hours of opening
- All key details included
- Direct link to apply
Why This Beats Manual Checking
Stop wasting hours. Let automation do the work.
Manual Checking
- Spend 10-15 minutes daily checking Housing Connect
- Miss opportunities when you forget to check
- Manually filter through 100+ listings
- Calculate AMI percentages yourself
- Risk missing deadlines
With Our Service
- Completely automated - zero manual work
- Never miss a match - alerts sent instantly
- Only see lotteries matching your criteria
- AMI converted to actual dollar amounts
