We do the filtering. You stay in control of every application.

Review matched lotteries, application status, and important Housing Connect messages from one private dashboard.
Before you start
- Does RentReboot run the lotteries?
- No. NYC Housing Connect runs the lotteries and applications are free. RentReboot is an independent matching and optional application-management service.
- Does auto-apply start immediately?
- No. You must choose auto-apply, complete the required Housing Connect profile, and authorize RentReboot before any eligible application can be submitted.
- Can RentReboot improve my odds?
- No. RentReboot can help you find and submit eligible applications, but it cannot influence selection, eligibility review, or approval.
- What are the best websites to check for NYC housing lotteries?
- NYC Housing Connect is the official application site — every lottery application is submitted there for free. RentReboot’s free directory at rentreboot.com/open-housing-lottery lists each currently open lottery with income bands, rents, and deadlines, and RentReboot can match your household details and email you when a new lottery fits.
- Is there an app that alerts you about new NYC housing lotteries?
- Yes. RentReboot matches your household size and income to open Housing Connect lotteries and emails you the ones worth applying to. Optional auto-apply can submit eligible applications only after you complete the required Housing Connect profile and authorize RentReboot, and it cannot influence selection, eligibility review, or approval.
