Having an Issue With My Willets Point Commons Affordable Housing Application — Looking for Advice From Anyone Familiar With Housing Connect
I am seeking advice regarding my application for affordable housing at Willets Point Commons.
During the review process, the staff member handling my application asked me to provide false or inaccurate information. I refused this request and insisted on providing truthful information. Subsequently, I encountered difficulties with the processing of my application.
When I asked to switch to a different staff member, I was immediately informed that doing so would trigger a re-review of the application and complicate the entire process. I accepted this explanation at the time and did not proceed with the request to change staff members.
I had previously been informed that the applicant ahead of me had been rejected and that it was my turn for review.
However, after I refused to provide false information and submitted my documents, I was told that the unit had been assigned to the applicant ahead of me, and my application status was changed to "No Unit Available."
I am confused: given that I was previously told the applicant ahead of me had been rejected and it was my turn, why was I later informed—after refusing to provide false information—that the unit had been assigned to that same applicant?
I would like to know which department I can contact to request an independent review of this situation.
