The lowest income for eligibility for the housing lotteries shown is just over $59,000 and most are in the $70-80,000 range! How could this be considered affordable housing? Did the developers get benefits for this? If so, it’s a perversion of the policy that is supposed to generate the building of housing for people whose income in much less than that. This needs to be investigated!
it is correct
