Jennifer Rojas+FollowNew Bed-Stuy lottery: $5.5K “affordable” unitsA new housing lottery just opened at 211 Nostrand Avenue in Bed-Stuy, but here’s the twist: the so-called “affordable” four-bedroom apartments start at $5,525 a month, with income requirements topping out at nearly $295K. The building offers modern finishes, big windows, and stainless-steel kitchens, but tenants cover all utilities. For many locals, these prices might feel out of reach—so what does “affordable” really mean in today’s Brooklyn? Would you or anyone you know qualify, or does this just highlight how tough it’s become to find truly accessible housing in the neighborhood? #News #BedStuy #BrooklynHousing10Share
