Huntington Raffles off Affordable Rental Apartments

The Town of Huntington recently raffled off a two-bedroom unit and two three-bedroom units at a Creek Road rental complex.

In December, the Town of Huntington, the Town of Huntington Community Development Agency and the Creekside by the Harbor development announced three available units would be offered through a lottery and several members of the community applied.

On Tuesday, the winning names were pulled from a drum at Town Hall by Councilman Mark Cuthbertson. Some of the applicants sat in the audience and waited for their names to be called. First in the audience among those called were John and Judith DiSarlo, who were picked third.

The lottery results can be viewed on the Town’s website here.

• Rent for the two-bedroom unit is $1,248 a month and applicants needed a family income between $29,952 and $54,500 a year to apply.
• Rent for the three-bedroom units is $1,623 a month and applicants needed a family income between $38,952 and $63,250 a year to apply.

The next process for these applicants is a credit check. Those who pass the credit check will have to submit a formal application to the Community Development Agency. If approved by CDA, the applicant will then be offered a unit.

The three winners will be able to move into their new homes during the early Spring.
