Bianca’s story

“I'm so happy! I can't believe I got selected for the housing lottery! Now I see a future in NYC because my housing just got affordable!”

— Bianca, Brooklyn

When Bianca first moved to Brooklyn, she loved the city — but rent kept taking more of her paycheck. Even with a good job, the idea of staying long-term felt out of reach. Starting a family here? Almost impossible.

She had heard about the NYC Housing Lottery, but like many New Yorkers, she didn’t know where to start.

“I just didn’t think it would happen for me,” she said.

That’s when she started using Homey.

She set up her profile, by giving some basic info about herself, and within 10 minutes, Homey was automatically applying her to every lottery she qualified for.

“I loved that I could just create my profile and they handled everything. I didn’t have to worry about missing something.”

Then the text message came.

“I’m so happy! I can’t believe I got selected for the housing lottery! Now I see a future in NYC because my housing just got affordable.”
