This page tracks which specific lotteries are open and accepting applications right now, sourced from NYC Open Data (Housing Connect listings). Each card shows the application deadline, AMI band, unit types, borough, and a link to apply on the official portal.

What “open” means

A lottery is open when Housing Connect is actively accepting applications and the deadline has not passed. After the deadline, the listing closes — you cannot apply until a new building opens (often a different address entirely).

How to use this page

  • Filter by borough or sort by Closing Soon to prioritize deadlines.
  • Click a listing for income limits, unit mix, and the official Housing Connect application link.
  • Confirm your household income against our 2026 income limits table or AMI calculator before applying.

Eligibility & how to apply

Each lottery targets specific AMI bands and household sizes. Applications are free and submitted on NYC Housing Connect. After you apply, you receive a confirmation and — once the lottery runs — a log number in your account. See our how-to-apply guide and log number explainer.

Browse by focus area: Brooklyn, Queens, 60% AMI, 80% AMI, or 2-bedroom lotteries.

Lottery alerts

New listings appear without notice. Email alerts ($4.99/month) notify you when a lottery matching your borough, bedroom size, and income band opens — this is an independent service, not operated by NYC.
