I moved in briarwood in December of 2018 and I got my apt in July 2019.. However it's the work you put in to helping the housing staff a apt is not just going to come to you ...you have to do some of yor own foot work if you do your own work you can find a decent place if you dont,and you just sit there then you might be there a while.A shelter is supposed to be a quick solution in an emergency not a long term answer.beaware I took SOTA PROGRAM I MOVED OUT OF BRIARWOOD IN THE END OF AUGUST AND LANDLORD CAME TO ME IN MAY AND SAID I NEED TO START PAYING RENT I WAS LIKE HUH I HAVE A LEASE IM ALSO PAYING A S IDE DEAL OF 250.A MONTH SINCE I MOVED IN WHICH IM NOT SUPPOSED TO BE PAYING SOTA IS NOT WHAT ITS CRACKED UP TO BE. I GOT A BESUTIFUL HOUSE BUT THEY LIE TO GET YOU TO WHERE YOU GOTRA GO SND SCREW YOU. I've met so many people here in jersey from NY who are all in shelters back inny because NJ does not help you they don't even want NYC SOTA residents in there state. Do your Homework...
Couple months deoending on your case
Yes....depends on your case and if it takes longer then 12months they begin to help you through all nycha offers but that also depends on what H.R.A decides as far as employment programs
