Today’s housing lottery round-up features five buildings with affordable units on Housing Connect with deadlines closing within the next seven days.

The affordable housing lottery is open for 898 Bushwick Avenue, a four-story residential development in Bushwick, Brooklyn. The eight-unit building is developed by Josh Navi and designed by Gerald Caliendo, and will yield 7,151 square feet. Available on NYC Housing Connect are three units for rent for residents at 130 percent of the area median income, ranging in eligible income from $66,858 to $159,640.

Updated renderings from J. Frankl Associates and Studio C Architecture reveal new plans for a nine-story residential building in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn.
