Discussion about
So, my friend is number 4501 out of 15000 waitlisted for 5000 affordable housing apts in peter cooper village. My understanding is that probably only 300 apts per year will become available and that every 2 yrs you have to re-enter the lottery - so anyone with a number higher than lets say 600 is screwed?

I had afraid who was called up for the lottery. However, she was told that her lease was only goof for 2 years. Then she had to put her name back in the lottery and win to get a new lease. She passed because that meant she would have to go through all the expense of moving again in 2 years.

Sorry "afraid" was supposed to be " a friend" and "goof" was "good". That's what you get for typing on a black keyboard without proper lighting.
