Mitchell-Lama Housing

Madison Towers is a State Supervised Middle Income Housing Development for Families and

has eligibility requirements related to income limits, family size, and apartment size.

 

The Division of Housing and Community Renewal (DHCR) is responsible for the supervision, maintenance, and development of moderate-income housing in New York State. DHCR performs a number of activities in fulfillment of this mission, including oversight and regulation of the State's public and publically assisted rental housing; administration of the State's rent regulations and protection of rent regulated tenants; and administration of housing development and community preservation programs.

All applicants are entered into Mitchell-Lama Automated Waiting List (AWL). DHCR developed this web-based system to enable State-supervised housing companies to store and process applicant information more efficiently and to improve its ability to monitor their tenant selection activities. All tenants in DHCR supervised Mitchell-Lama developments are required to report their income, and the income of all household members, annually and to comply with housing company requests for documentation. Tenants are subject to DHCR's annual income review procedure.An applicant whose adjusted household income exceeds the maximum admission income limit may be admitted paying a rent surcharge. Please visit nydhcr.org for more information.
