With average Manhattan monthly rents recently climbing past $5,000, now's definitely a good time to explore the city's affordable housing lottery program—especially if you're hoping to live uptown.
A search through NYC Housing Connect, the city's online portal for finding affordable housing, currently shows two rental lotteries in East Harlem (although as Patch pointed out, the word "affordable" is up for debate).
The final dates to send in your applications are coming up soon, so if you're interested, hurry.
