Nyc Housing Development Corporation Application For Apartment (Page 2 of 8) in pdf

Other Eligibility Factors: In addition to the income requirements, other eligibility factors will be applied.

These include, but are not limited to:

Credit History

Criminal Background Checks

Qualification as a Household – the Agency’s housing programs are designated for individuals, families and

households who can document financial interdependence as a household unit. These affordable programs

are not intended for “roommate situations” and so such applicants will not be eligible under this household

criterion.

Continuing Need – Applicants to the Agency’s low-income housing programs must demonstrate a

continuing need for housing assistance through an analysis of their assets and recent income history. For

example, applicants may not have more than $250,000 in total household assets (excluding specifically

designated retirement accounts such as IRAs and 401Ks).

Application Preferences: There is a general preference for current New York City residents. Households

outside of New York City are free to apply, but their applications will be assigned a low priority and processed

only after all NYC resident applicants

Primary Residence Requirement: Any applicant ultimately approved for this development must maintain the

new apartment as their sole primary residence. Therefore any approved tenant will need to surrender any other

primary residences prior to signing a lease for this program. While this is true of all other apartments,

maintaining more than one unit which participates in any governmental housing program is a particularly

egregious violation of this requirement. If you are presently residing in another governmentally assisted unit,

you are free to apply to an HPD/HDC housing development provided that you comply with this requirement

and give up your current such unit before signing a lease once you are selected and have been approved.

Violation of this requirement may lead to the loss of the apartments and leases in question, as well as referral to

the appropriate authorities for potential criminal charges.

10. Submission of False or Incomplete Information:

Prospective applicants should be aware that this is a

governmentally assisted housing program. The submission of false or knowingly incomplete information

(either in this application or in any subsequently provided verification documents) will not only result in an

applicant’s disqualification, but will be forwarded to the appropriate authorities for further action – including

the possibility of criminal prosecution. All paperwork and documents submitted by applicants are subject to

review by the New York City Department of Investigation, a fully empowered law enforcement agency of the

City of New York.
