Brooklyn's New Affordable Housing Lottery Opens for 150 Units in Brownsville

A new affordable housing lottery has opened in Brooklyn for individuals and families. Glenmore Manor Apartments, a 150-unit development in Brownsville, is now accepting applications until March 26th, 2026. The apartments offer studios, one-, two-, and three-bedroom homes for households of 1 to 7 people with varying income levels.

The apartments come with in-unit air conditioning, energy-efficient appliances, and free broadband internet. Tenants will only pay for electricity, as rent covers heat, hot water, and gas. The building also provides 24-hour security, a fitness room, bike storage, and shared community spaces.

Sixteen studio apartments are specifically reserved for seniors aged 62 and older. Some apartments are also adapted for applicants with mobility, vision, or hearing needs. Beyond housing, Glenmore Manor includes 20,000 square feet of community and commercial space for local businesses and support services.

Developed under NYC's ELLA and MIH programs, the project reflects the city's push for inclusive neighborhoods. Eligible incomes range from $22,492 to $160,720, depending on household size. Applications remain open until the deadline next year.

Glenmore Manor Apartments offers a mix of amenities and accessibility features for future residents. The lottery system ensures a fair selection process for those meeting the income criteria. Successful applicants will move into a building designed to support both housing and community needs.
