The head of household must be 18 or older (or an emancipated minor), at least one household member must be a U.S. citizen or have eligible immigration status, and household income must be at or below 80% of the Area Median Income. Applicants select a first and second borough choice and cannot pick a specific development. Applications are active for two years and must be renewed every two years to remain on the waitlist. Priority is given to New York City residents.
The website mentions that if a voucher expires and a rental package has not been submitted, the household will be removed from the waiting list and required to reapply when NYCHA is accepting applications. This implies the waiting list is not currently open for new applications.
