200,000 low-income NYC households have been added to the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) waitlist, the largest in the US. NYCHA utilized a random lottery system to select applicants from over 600,000 during a weeklong window in June. The federal program provides rental subsidies to low-income families, and NYCHA plans to issue 1,000 vouchers per month to households on the waitlist.
