You can get assistance but the priorities work against you. Housing is very scarce in NYC particularly affordable units. Most owners have left Sec8 as they can make more money per unit in the open market.NYC is building new facilities and in Bklyn some owners in specific areas( East Flatbush,Flatlands) have converted apts into shared units. NYC gives 1st priority to ppl in the homeles system. There arent enuf units for qualified in system ppl. Go to your neighborhood help center( find yours on google) to learn the programs available. A new one is NYC will pay for you to live with a family member in or out of state.
