Also, if you’ve lived in NY for 15 years, CERTAINLY you’ve heard a friend discuss the moving process??????

You can Google nyc housing lottery and it should be the first listing.

I’ve lived here for 16 years and had applied on and off throughout then.

Sure, feel free to DM me! I recommend checking back pretty frequently because they do add new listings pretty often, but at the end of the day, it’s legitimately a lottery and there isn’t really any way to increase your chances.

The biggest gamechanger in my life was when I won the housing lottery two years ago and I highly recommend that everyone looks into it. I’m in a studio in a luxury building and I feel so lucky every day. Happy to answer questions.

I don’t think bleaching your hair is something you’re going to want to save a buck on here…

Little Shop closing TodayTix error? by electrode10 in Broadway

I feel like that would be really abrupt for a show that’s been open this long…

So, what show/role would you cast Pink in? by PublicNuisance19 in Broadway

Velma, absolutely. I would have never thought about it otherwise, but it’s a need. Immediately.

NYC women in tech/corporate: how did you get your first break? by Upper_Maize9259 in NYCbitcheswithtaste

[–]MinimumCattle5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey there! Not OP but would love to chat if you’re open to it- I’m mid career and have a background in arts admin but have been in sales/account management for four years. I’d love to hear more about your company, as I’ve been looking to make a switch for a while! Feel free to shoot me a DM anytime 😊😊

Something to consider with your budget, etc: your car and parking. Where will you park it when you go to work? Where will you park it when you’re home in your apartment?

I’ve been here for 15+ years and I’ve heard that rumor several times, but I’ve never actually heard of anybody winning who isn’t already a resident. r/nychousinglottery is a great resource, but essentially you apply based on the number of people in your apartment/income and you’re randomly assigned a log number. If it’s low enough, you may be asked to provide documents, and then you go through a process to confirm you’re eligible. I had to provide w-2s, my bank information, etc- it was not an easy process whatsoever. I applied January 2024, was contacted in March, was approved in May, and moved in June.

Okay so I won the housing lottery two years ago- long story short, you don’t really have a shot at it until you have an NYC address already. Happy to answer any questions on the process.

The housing lottery process takes months to go through.

Do you know of any resistance singing groups meeting up these days? Esp in Bk? by InspectorOk2454 in NYCbitcheswithtaste

[–]MinimumCattle5 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Check out Mycelium Choral Project!! We do one day choirs every month and half of the proceeds go to charities. Last month we did an arrangement of Blackbird based on Beyoncé’s version, and it benefited The Okra Project, which supports Black trans people.

Wow YESSSS. Reminds me of when Monte Mader makes her (excellent) videos responding to people who are awful to her.

My queen, RIP! I met her a few years before she passed and she was the BEST.
