The Housing Application Process

Hope Community’s primary catchment area is the neighborhood of East Harlem, which extends north from East 96th Street and east from Fifth Avenue to the Harlem River. For prospective tenants, there are several ways to submit a housing application. The housing application process for prospective tenants is a multi-step process.
