LOTTERY
for locals making between
50 and 60 percent of the
area median income, who
can submit online applications
for the apartments
through March 4 once the
lottery opens.
Twenty-four of the
apartments will be set
aside for residents who
earn 50 percent of the area
median income, which is
$41,750 for a two-person
household or $52,150 for a
four-person household, according
to city data .
The other 28 units are
for locals making 60 percent
of the area median
income, which data shows
is $50,100 for a two-person
household or $62,580 for a
four-person household.
Following the application
period, the housinglottery
system will randomly
choose occupants
based on eligibility and individuals
whose requests
the city prioritizes, such
as people with disabilities
and municipal employees.
Locals may not hear
back about the status of
their requests for up to ten
months following the close
of the application period,
if they hear back at all, according
to offi cials with
the Department of Housing
Preservation and Development,
which manages the
lottery system.
Architects contracted
by Surf Vets Place’s developer
fi led plans for the ninestory
tower containing 134
total units and nearly two
basketball courts’ worth of
ground-fl oor retail space
back in April 2016.
The building’s other 82
units are specifi cally earmarked
for formerly homeless
veterans, who could
begin applying for those
apartments back in November
through the city’s
online supportive-housing
lottery, which is managed
by the Human Resources
Administration.
Following that application
period, that agency
will forward eligible veterans’
requests for the units
to the Department of Veterans
Services, and then
to leaders of the Concern
for Independent Living,
the organization that will
help the city dole out the
apartments based on factors
including fi nancial
qualifi cations, household
size, proof of a need for
housing, and a criminal
background check, according
to Concern honcho
Elizabeth Lunde, who previously
told this newspaper
that Surf Vets Place’s
developer Georgica Green
Ventures plans to fi nish
construction on the property
next month.
The so-called affordable
units are required in
the development because
it sits within the special
Coney Island District, a
product of the area’s 2009
rezoning , which mandates
that builders set aside 35
percent of units in complexes
within the district
for low and moderate-income
families who earn
between 51 percent and 120
percent of the area’s median
income, which comes
out to between $53,193 and
$125,160 for a four-person
household.
