How to Apply
(1) Check the list of Mitchell-Lama developments with open waiting lists and see if there are any developments in which you are interested .
(2) Send a letter to the managing agent of the development(s) in which you are interested.
Each development requires that you apply separately. There is no master list for applications. However, you can apply to more than one development at a time. Mitchell-Lama apartments are sold or rented through waiting lists kept by each development. Many Mitchell-Lama waiting lists are closed because there are already enough applicants listed to fill vacancies expected in the foreseeable future. Periodically, these developments open their waiting lists and new applications are accepted based on a lottery system. Mitchell-Lama developments must advertise when they open their waiting lists. Check your local newspapers to find out when applications are being accepted.
I applied to these apts in March/2010. I received an acknowledgement with a list #. I have been waiting to hear about an opening. Today I check on the internet and find out that they are opening the list again. What happened to the list of 2010 or is this just a way to make money.
