“Eight of the units set aside are studios, with a monthly rent of $3,088…intended for households of up to two people…combined annual income ranging from $105,875 to $161,590.”
Clearly this lottery is based on dual income only. Single income need not apply unless making a 6 figure income.
This benefits young people, seniors and others in between how exactly?
Affordable!! LOL.
