What happened
An affordable housing lottery is open for 42-78 65th Place in Woodside, Queens. New York YIMBY reported the launch on 10/15/2026. Secret NYC covered the same lottery on 10/13/2026, calling the building 65 Place Apartments. It is a new nine-story building with 29 rental units. Eight of those units are offered through NYC Housing Connect for households earning 40 to 130 percent of the area median income (AMI). Eligible incomes range from $38,435 to $238,160.
Both outlets list rents from $869 to $3,000. Three one-bedrooms rent for $869 for incomes of $38,435 to $61,080. Two one-bedrooms rent for $1,399 for incomes of $56,606 to $91,620. One unit rents for $1,611 for incomes of $68,812 to $109,920. New York YIMBY calls that unit a two-bedroom, and Secret NYC calls it a one-bedroom. Two-bedrooms rent for $2,882 for incomes of $112,389 to $183,200, and for $3,000 for incomes of $116,435 to $238,160. New York YIMBY lists two units at each of those top two rents. Secret NYC lists one at each. Secret NYC's count adds up to the eight lottery units both outlets report.
Per New York YIMBY, the building was designed by Angelo Ng + Anthony Ng Architects Studio and developed by 6525 Queens Blvd LLC. Applicants must meet income and household size rules. New York YIMBY reports that applications must be submitted online or postmarked by 11/02/2026. Secret NYC reports that paper applications can be requested by sending a self-addressed envelope to 42-78 65 Place Apartments C/O Reside Affordable, 349 Keap Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211. It warns that applying more than once, including once online and once by mail, could lead to disqualification.
New York YIMBY lists air conditioning, energy-efficient appliances, in-unit washers and dryers, intercoms, smart heating and cooling controls, patios or balconies, an elevator and pet-friendly policies.

Tenants and voucher holders
The $869 one-bedrooms are for households earning $38,435 to $61,080, so lower-income applicants should check whether their household size and income fit. Apply only once, online or by mail, before 11/02/2026.
Caseworkers
Clients without reliable internet can request a paper application from Reside Affordable by sending a self-addressed envelope. Make sure clients do not submit both online and paper applications, since duplicates could disqualify them.
Landlords
These are newly built Woodside units with in-unit laundry and balconies renting from $869 to $3,000. They give a reference point for what regulated new construction in the area is offering at different income levels.
Why it matters
A new Queens lottery is a possible affordable option for clients and voucher holders, but eligibility and deadlines must be confirmed first.
What to do: Look up the official listing to confirm rents, income limits and the deadline.

Background
NYC affordable housing lotteries are run through NYC Housing Connect, the city's online application portal. Each unit has set income ranges tied to the area median income and household size. After the deadline, applications are randomly ordered, and applicants are screened in log order for income, household size and other requirements. Some developments set aside a share of units for preferences, such as local community board residents or people with disabilities. Applying more than once to the same lottery can lead to disqualification.
