The property belongs to the D&F Development Group LLC, a Long Island-based developer who is receiving a tax exemption under the 421-a program in exchange for providing the affordable units. The developer is also currently constructing a 53-unit, eight-story building nearby called the Horizon at Locust Manor, which will include some Section 8 units, according to the company's website.
The lottery opened on June 14 and the deadline to apply is Aug. 14. Those interested can apply by mail or online through the city’s Housing Connect system.
