	Open Housing Lotteries HPD does not sell townhomes, co-ops, or condos. HPD works with real estate professionals and community sponsors who market them. We require that City-subsidized homes be sold through an Open Lottery system to ensure fair and equitable distribution of housing to eligible applicants. In order to participate in a lottery, you will have to contact the respective building managers, community sponsors and/or real estate professionals directly to fill out an application and enter it in a housing lottery. There are no brokers’ fees and no application fees. Find out about current housing lotteries
