For the tax return, do you send the entire tax return or just the federal and state return? Also, it has my bank information like routing number and everything, do we send that? Idk what to do and it's stressing me out cause I'm almost out of time. I file with h and r block and it's 32 pages. Do I send that or only state and federal? Thank you again for helping us out here, you are an angel!

Hey Ashley, thank you so much for the info. I just got approved for 2 bedroom in spring creek east ny by gateway mall, I'm so happy that I sign my lease tomorrow and me and my kids are moving out shelter. You were right, thank you for life.
@@AshleyNicholson yes it does and you were right about everything, I applied for this area in October 2020, got selected December 2021 and got approved 3 days ago. It's definitely a process, I prayed to God that housing connect called me before nycha did because I selected for dyckman projects also, thank God. Lord knows I don't wanna live there.
Omg. I want to cry watching this. I'm trying to get my elderly mom in a senior building and the process is so long This pandemic has token a told on my mom but she has me. I'm trying to move in the long run in about 1 or 2 years. The building she currently lives in is horrible. Lower floors get no heat. I dont think they built the apartment well. I'm just hoping my mom gets this apartment. The site says it's under review. Please 🙏🏿 #akidfrom highbridge🙏🏿
Hey Ashley, its crazy i clicked your video and said wow she looks just like Ari and Anecia ,and boom ! God works in mysterious ways. Thank you for this video
Great Job Ashley! Based off your content your delivery was remarkable. Your speaking voice was very engaging yet straight to the point. I definitely subscribed. You kept me in-tuned because your were very informative and confident about the information your were putting out there. Thank You and keep up the great work. P.S. Congratulations!

I've gotten called for at least 6 connect apartments so I know how to work this system. Turned down at least 3, took one that Ive been living in for about 5 years now, I don't remember about the other 2 but all I've done is turn down or accept. I pray all is good for you from here on out.
@@shaygoodine9247 I'm not sure how you came upon that paper which shows what you think is an error but you can put in an appeal but they usually don't change anything after that first interview for document review but if you appeal anything you're going to have to explain how yo came upon that info. I saw a video on yt explaining how to go about complaints or appeals and I could be wrong but I think ashley went through something like this in her journey but I never have so look through ashley's videos on this subject and if not just search on yt. I'm sorry I couldn't help more.
I'm currently going through the process. Definitely, have as much documentation ready before your interview date like Ashley said. I already had copies of social, birth certificates etc. But the moment I got the call, I went ahead and got my 6months of bank statements, the letter of the school my son attends, 12 months of rent receipts, letter stating my cat is a emotional support animal. Have everything ready. The only thing I didn't have, was a notarized letter explaining my Cash app and Mercari sales. And I didn't have a letter from an ex-employer, who I chose not to follow through with a job back in September. I was able to get the last documentation needed in 2 days. Submitted everything, within two office visits. The documentation process won't seem stressful, if you plan for it. Then it's just a waiting game, after that 😩
hey so i have an question so when you get an new job and apply to housing connect how can you show for the tax return. when you just started an new job . how can you get an notarized letter for your animal stating an emotional support animal ?
@@ShakiaSimmons I think they will just ask you for paystubs and ask your new employer, to write a letter stating your income and start date. The letter I got for my cat, was from the doctor. If you need the animal as an emotional support pet, you can get a letter from your therapist/psych
Hi Ashley, I just came across your video. It was great and informative. Thank you for kindly sharing your experience. Where can I find that list that they sent you? Thanks Diamond
Best wishes! Thanks for sharing all the info and tips. I checked my log numbers for every development that I’ve applied for. Long story short, they will not be calling me for any of ‘em!
Hey My love I just wanted to let you know you have helped so much and Givin me so much hope for me and my son. I wanted to also let everyone now if they have someone with them who gets ssi they will need and award letter and a ssp letter. The ssp letter they can not obtain through the ssi office they will have to call for that one and get it faxed or emailed!
Hi Ashley, thank you for all of these informative videos, they’ve been super helpful! Just wanted to know if you blacked out any information on some of the documents you submitted? Like the account number on your bank statements?
Do not blackout anything on the bank statements like account numbers and things like that. They will reject those and ask you to submit copies that are not blacked out. I blacked mine out and it was a headache because I had to resubmit all of them all over again and it holds up the process.
Heyy I viewed my apartment and they said I approved 🎉but I’m just waiting to sign my lease ,they said within the 15days of the day I viewed it ,but is that Normal ?
Hey Ashley! I was wondering if you could answer a question. I’m currently in the process of HC. My case manager is … not the nicest person. She barley wants to answer a question of mine and has been miss spelling a lot of my information on my TIC document. But long story short, what exactly does HDC/HPD do? I believe my files should be sent out this week and she said I passed my credit check. Does that mean I may possibly get the apartment?
Thank you Ashley. Question they asked me to send a mobility letter, I have no idea what that is. Also they said my application was being handled by a Marketing Firm. again I don't understand is that something common. and 3rd is Since I have low income and a voucher do they expect me to pay 1st Month real rent $ 2800 plus $2800 Security Dep? I am like what low income person has $7K to move into an apt. Thanks if you have answers that may help.
Hi Ashly ! Thank you for this video!!!! I was asked to submit documents.. but I can’t find where is it that I have to submit.. I have emailed them but no response
Hey guys if You have any questions let me know I can try to answer for you guys ! 💙 Update: I am no longer answering questions please contact your building
Do they consider what you have saved in your bank as savings as an extra income? Also how do you write down your zelle and cash app payments for them from 6 months ago? I printed out the statements but I am aware that they need to know for what that money was for?
No they don’t consider savings as extra income only a 401k they would consider extra income because you can withdraw it. Also they will instruct you on how to write down the Cashapp and Zelle deposits via a self affidavit provided by them just remember what the deposits were for
I got chosen for an apartment in Brooklyn but I live in Queens. I found that weird! I declined that place but it felt nice being selected to submit papers. And all my log numbers are very low for places in Brooklyn. So idk...guess I can't complain.
I notice a lot of immigrants or foreigners get called faster. I know Americans that have been on the waiting list for at least six to even years already.
As of right now I do not know if there is a maximum amount for savings they haven’t said anything but I assume if it’s for retirement or something they would say something
Hey thanks for your video, it really helps I got a call back as well and was able to submit documents, how long do they usually take to review them? And get back to you?
It depends on wen your leasing specialist send the documents but it took me. Month to get all my documents together with letters and self affidavits and they responded in one week because it’s myself alone
they just called me back for an apartment in the bronx but i live in brooklyn and applied for multiple in brooklyn and still haven’t call me back for one here yet 😭
I’m currently going through the process I have to appeal I’m so nervous 😟I hope I get it’ such a stressful process . Idk if appeals really work smh 🤦🏽♀️
Right now I'm at the stage of submitting documents. I'm so nervous and hoping I do not go past the income bracket :( But yes they did ask for my whole life story so now I'm waiting for an update.
great video thank you! they reached to me with this email: "Your application has been reached for Rise LIC. The information in your application appears to match the eligibility requirements for one or more units in this development. If you are interested in proceeding" I submited my documents and todat they wrote me again asking me to provide them my log number, does this mean I won the lottery?
Hi how long did the process take from point of first contact from lottery till you signed a lease? I was just contacted to submit a list of documents through housing connect
OK if under review .... what's next? I recievevd a text to check my application. When I did it says action required. Now under review. Will they call or email? Did you upload all your documents? So after review .... are the interviews in person?
So they will either email you to upload documents online or send you a packet in the mail to submit your documents in mail it back to them? Also, on housing connect website for the household information is there a way to add that you have a cash app account?
Yes but some leasing specialists prefer you to bring the documents into the office. N on the housingconnect website I have not seen a way to add your Cashapp information but if you have Cashapp transactions on your bank statements they will request the balance
@@AshleyNicholson Thank you! I have another question, could the notarized statements for the gifts received be typed up and then notarized or hand written and notarized?
@@BeccaSupreme9197 gifts as in like money ? You have to say it was gifted but they will let you know what you’ll have to do once they review your bank statements
@@AshleyNicholson yeah gifts as in money that you may receive on a routine basis. Like when writing a notarized statement explaining what it is for and submitting that statement to them.
Can school tuition hinder your chance of getting an apartment? I just received a call to upload documents for an apartment through housing connect but I will be paying tuition in the very near future. Thanks for your response in advance.
That I am unsure of because tuition is paid by various ppl including the government. But they do ask for that information so I’m Not sure how they calculate that as income or not
@@AshleyNicholson hey would you include cash you received and deposited in your bank account during the year from selling random items instead of throwing them out, in your gross income?
So, is the rent amount list on there the amount you will be charged? According to my income for a family of 4, I would pay $ 2,380.00 for a 2-bed apartment in Queens. Can this amount change?
that would be the amount you pay for the first years lease and after that when you renew your lease you have to do a income verification again and and the rent can go up 2.5% nothing more depending on your two or 1 year lease agreement i am in the process of doing my lease renewal now
Hi, I live with my mother but I’m not on the lease and have a different address on my ID. All my mail goes to my moms apartment though (where I currently live) do you think I will have an issue? Should I get my address changed back to my mothers address? Or do they not care if the address I live at doesn’t match the address on my ID?.. thank you!
Hi they asked me about my bank statement also if someone sent me $30.00 dollars do i have to explain why the person sent me 30 dollars or why i sent 30 dollars ?
Heyyy, Im young but I provide for myself and always have so of course I want to move into my own apartment now after having to deal with my parents constantly kicking me out and all that .I just started working fulltime, I have a saving and all that but this would be my first apartment. I just want to know how this might affect my process. I’ve been applying since last year, I’m not a student. If anyone can maybe help explain to me what I can do I’d appreciate it sooo much. But congratulations I’m so beyond happy for you☺️
Hello thanks for all your videos , I been following and been subscribed to your channel . Please I need to ask you I received an email saying they reached to my log number which is in the 3 digits . Now my question is how will I submit all those documents? Is so much is there away besides uploading it ? Can I say submit in person instead . But they really email not call . Thanks always
YW Askhey! Ok sorry to be so long, I just wanted to know if I'll have to submit my son's FASA info, he's a full-time student, who'll be on my lease also. 2) I don't have a 401K but I do have a DOE UFT Pension Plan will they need that info as well? And lastly, I live in Brooklyn but have been applying for Apts in other boro's as well should I just apply only in Brooklyn?
@@maxineglenn2843 heyy yes they will ask for the grant information if he receives grants for school And yes they will ask for the pension plan also. What is your email I can’t email you a screenshot of what they all ask for
@@maxineglenn2843 also apply for all boroughs! As fast as you can but Brooklyn would definitely contact you faster because that’s where you reside at the moment
@@AshleyNicholson hey Ashley thank you honey, I got Raven Hall around 11 ish last night, lol. I was so frustrated because the site was acting up for hours but I stayed up late a little, kept being persistent trying, then finally I was able to apply. I have IG and I added you 🥰
yes but It included in the background check. It doesnt determine if you are approved though. as long as you dont have 5k in collections you should be good

what does it mean when one place you apply for asks you for action required? does that mean you have been selected and if u show the proof you get it?
Yess send your documents
It’s not guaranteed that you would get it it’s based off of the information that you submit and they have to make sure that you’re eligible
So I applied about 2 months ago still waiting for a call back
Hi, I live with my mother but I’m not on the lease and have a different address on my ID. All my mail goes to my moms apartment though (where I currently live) do you think I will have an issue? Should I get my address changed back to my mothers address? Or do they not care if the address I live at doesn’t match the address on my ID?.. thank you!
You just need an notarized letter stating you live with your mom which has to be signed by her
@@AshleyNicholson how would the layout of the letter be ?
@@howto7248 check my recent housing connect video all Information should be there
@@AshleyNicholson I did so we just write that we lived here since xyz and have our parents sign it ?
Hi they asked me about my bank statement also if someone sent me $30.00 dollars do i have to explain why the person sent me 30 dollars or why i sent 30 dollars ?
You just have to explain the 30 dollars of why it was sent. I usually say someone gave me back money I spend on their lunch or dinner
Heyyy, Im young but I provide for myself and always have so of course I want to move into my own apartment now after having to deal with my parents constantly kicking me out and all that .I just started working fulltime, I have a saving and all that but this would be my first apartment. I just want to know how this might affect my process. I’ve been applying since last year, I’m not a student. If anyone can maybe help explain to me what I can do I’d appreciate it sooo much. But congratulations I’m so beyond happy for you☺️

Hello thanks for all your videos , I been following and been subscribed to your channel . Please I need to ask you I received an email saying they reached to my log number which is in the 3 digits . Now my question is how will I submit all those documents? Is so much is there away besides uploading it ? Can I say submit in person instead . But they really email not call . Thanks always
Respond to
The email
And ask
If you can submit documents through email or in person that’s the best route
are you using your g7x to film this or your canon m50
I’m using my canon m50 with my sigma 16mm lens. I don’t use a G7x anymore because the quality irks me lol
How did u calculate ur income
@maxine glenn thank youuuu I think your comment deleted for some reason
YW Askhey! Ok sorry to be so long, I just wanted to know if I'll have to submit my son's FASA info, he's a full-time student, who'll be on my lease also. 2) I don't have a 401K but I do have a DOE UFT Pension Plan will they need that info as well? And lastly, I live in Brooklyn but have been applying for Apts in other boro's as well should I just apply only in Brooklyn?
@@maxineglenn2843 heyy yes they will ask for the grant information if he receives grants for school
And yes they will ask for the pension plan also. What is your email I can’t email you a screenshot of what they all ask for
@@maxineglenn2843 also apply for all boroughs! As fast as you can but Brooklyn would definitely contact you faster because that’s where you reside at the moment
Heyyy Raven Hall new Brooklyn housing connect apply now lol if you have Instagram
Add me I can respond fast their
@@AshleyNicholson hey Ashley thank you honey, I got Raven Hall around 11 ish last night, lol. I was so frustrated because the site was acting up for hours but I stayed up late a little, kept being persistent trying, then finally I was able to apply. I have IG and I added you 🥰
do not allow those people to scam you
Did they ask for bank statements?
Yes 6 months worth
Do they check credit?
yes but It included in the background check. It doesnt determine if you are approved though. as long as you dont have 5k in collections you should be good
Was your log number low?
Yes but I also had high log numbers and was contacted 7 months later. Due to being accepted already I rejected the other building
Hi Ashley, when you say high log number, can you give an example? Like should I have any hope with a log number or 68201 and 16454
Hey what do your credit score have to be, and congratulations
Credit score isn’t a factor just good rental
History
