So of course I applied. Area median income in my specific neighborhood in my city is $85,000, and if you make 70% of that ($59,500) or less as a single filer, then you are qualified. My city has passed laws sort of recently requiring all these new luxury apartment buildings to have a certain % of units be affordable units, so I applied to all of the lotteries to try and get one. This way I’ll actually be able to finally afford a 1 bedroom and not have to live in squalor or with roommates! Everyone please wish me luck!
This system needs to change, it’s unsustainable long term and the homeless population in my city is also skyrocketing with no plan to tackle it
