Avalon's Affordable Housing Lottery Opens
Applications available for apartment lottery at East Fifth Street project.
Applications are available now for the 43 affordable-apartments at the Avalon at Huntington Station development.
Space will be awarded by lottery, with a Dec. 16 application deadline.
“This is a fantastic opportunity for people to become part of what will become a signature community in Huntington Station,” Supervisor Frank Petrone said. “I encourage interested persons to apply now to be part of the lottery that will be held to determine who will become the first tenants.”
The 379-unit Avalon at Huntington Station development on East Fifth Street is under construction.
The Long Island Housing Partnership, which is administering the program, estimates that rents for the affordable units will start at $932 a month for a one-bedroom, $1,148 a month for a two-bedroom and $1,646 for a three-bedroom unit.
