What people say.
In their own words.
I really wanted to enter the HPD lotteries, but all the paperwork was such a hassle. So glad LotKey does it all for me now.
Three steps.
You only do the first one.
01Create your LotKey profile.
Household size, income, and where you want to live. One form, about six minutes, and you never fill it out again.
02We apply to every matching lottery.
LotKey watches NYC Housing Connect around the clock and files your application the moment a listing you qualify for opens.
03You get notified when you win.
If your name comes up, we tell you right away and hand you a checklist of what to bring and what happens next.
You hand over real information.
We treat it that way.
Encrypted, start to finish.
Everything you give us is encrypted in transit and at rest, on US-based servers.
Shared only with NYC housing.
Your application goes to NYC Housing Connect and nowhere else. We never sell it, never pass it to data brokers, and never use it to train AI.
Only the essentials.
We ask for exactly what the lottery forms require: household, income, and how to reach you. Nothing extra, ever.
FAQ.
No. LotKey is an independent tool. We interact with NYC Housing Connect the same way an applicant would, by filling out its forms on your behalf. We can't skip the line, influence selection, or improve your odds beyond getting you in front of every lottery you qualify for.
We only file where you're actually eligible: AMI, household, occupancy, preferences all check out before we submit. Submitting to ones you don't qualify for would hurt you, not help.
Income, household, documents, and lottery history, all encrypted, US-based, never sold, never used to train anything. You can export or delete everything in one click.
We hand off to you with a packet: who the landlord is, what to bring, where the building is, what the unit actually looks like, and typical next-step timing. You take the viewing; we take notes.
Yes. Add your voucher at setup and we'll only surface listings that accept it, and prioritize them in your queue.
$14.99/month, cancel anytime in one click. If you moved into a lottery unit because of us, we'll refund your last month. Call it a housewarming.
Honest answer: low per lottery, but cumulative odds are the game. A popular Manhattan building might get 80,000 applications for 80 units. A Bronx building at 40% AMI might get 3,000 for 60. The right strategy is volume: applying to every lottery you qualify for, consistently, over months. That's exactly what we automate.
No. NYC Housing Connect lotteries are open to US citizens, permanent residents, and many visa holders. Undocumented applicants may qualify for some listings under local programs. We flag eligibility per listing so you're never guessing.
Yes. You don't have to be homeless or housing-insecure to enter a lottery. Renters, homeowners, and people living with family all apply. If you win, you'd simply move.
AMI stands for Area Median Income, a federal benchmark updated annually for the NYC metro area. Listings are priced for households earning a percentage of it (e.g. '60% AMI'). We calculate your household's AMI bracket from your income and size, then only show you lotteries where you fall in the eligible band.
Nothing beyond what you fill in during onboarding. We don't ask for IDs, pay stubs, or tax returns. The information you give us at signup is everything we need to file on your behalf. If a landlord later invites you to a viewing, that's when documents come into play, and we hand you a checklist of exactly what to bring.
Yes, and you should. There's no penalty for applying to many. Lotteries are independent and you can only accept one unit. We handle the volume so you don't have to track it yourself.
