Please feel free to call (631)904-0913 or email at 35Broadway@cdcli.org Applications will be processed on a first-come, first-serve basis. Applications will be available ONLY online at www.cdli.org . DO NOT deliver applications in any other manner such as by mail or hand-delivery as they will NOT be accepted. 35 Broadway 35 Broadway consists of 18 studio and two bedroom apartments and is located at 35 Broadway in Hicksville, NY. Two of the units are required to be maintained as income restricted Workforce Housing Rental Units. The two Workforce Housing Rental Units consist of 2 two-bedroom units. Income and Rent Restrictions The gross household annual income of occupants for the Workforce Housing Rental Units cannot exceed 120% of the HUD Area Median Income (HUD AMI) for Nassau County, adjusted for family size. Minimum incomes are required by the Owner/Manager in order to ensure that occupants are not paying more than 35% of their gross annual income on housing expenses (rent plus a utility allowance). Based on the above, the current maximum and minimum income limits and rents for 35 Broadway Apartments are as follows: * Minimum Income Guidelines do not apply to those applicants with an approved rental subsidy. Affordability Period The affordability restrictions stated above will remain in effect commensurate with the Term of the Lease Agreement between the Owner/Manager and the Nassau County Industrial Development Agency. Utilities Cost of the following utilities is included in the workforce unit rent amount listed above: Heat – Electric Cooking – Electric Hot water – Electric Electric Cable Internet Telephone Annual Income Recertification. Tenants will be recertified annually in accordance with the income and rent guidelines established above based on the HUD Area Median Income in effect for each year. Leases will contain addendums that outline the requirements for continued eligibility and requirements to recertify annually. Initial Tenant Selection Procedures General process Eligibility for a unit involves three steps: (1) Timely submission of a completed Application; (2) Timely submission of additional information required necessary to assess preliminary program eligibility for tenancy including income, tax returns, and related documentation; and (3) Final review by the Owner/Manager for tenancy including credit checks, backgrounds checks, employment and leasing history Step One – Submission of Wait List Application Applications will be processed on a first-come, first-served basis and may only be submitted on-line. DO NOT deliver applications in any other manner such as by mail or hand-delivery as they will NOT be accepted. To submit the electronic application, go to CDLI’s website at www.cdli.org and click on the link for 35 Broadway Application. Applicants will be placed on a wait list in the order in which their application is received. Applications will be automatically dated and time stamped for submission and included in a database. Applicants will be notified of their waitlist rank number by CDLI. CDLI will contact applicants in ranked order to determine formal eligibility for a unit. Inclusion on the Waitlist represents only the first step for initial compliance and does not guarantee preliminary approval or eligibility for a unit. Step Two – Preliminary Eligibility Review During this step, CDLI will conduct a pre-screening to verify the applicant’s income (both maximum and minimum), and household size for program eligibility. This will require the applicant provide certain documentation outlined below. (1) last 2 years of federal income tax returns, W-2 and/or 1099 form; (2) four most recent consecutive pay stubs; (3) three most recent consecutive monthly bank statements for all bank accounts and investment accounts. (4) consent for CDLI to share applicant’s income documentation with G2D The applicant will have 5 business days to provide the above referenced documents. If the foregoing is not received by CDLI within such time period, the applicant will be ineligible and a letter will be sent confirming same. The applicant will also be required to provide certain consents in order to permit CDLI to verify income submissions and employment. Income will include all gross income, including, but not limited to, income from full and part time employment, overtime, bonuses, tips, pensions, social security, 401k and IRA distributions, child support, alimony, and severance pay. ALL sources of income are included and will be annualized for the upcoming 12-month period. Total gross household income cannot exceed the maximum income limits. Once income verification has been completed, the applicant will be notified, by email, if available, or by regular mail of their status. If the applicant is deemed income eligible, they will be referred to the Owner/Manager to complete Step 3. Step Three – Rental Application/Tenant Screening If the applicant is deemed income eligible, they will be referred to the Owner/Manager to complete a Formal Rental Application with the Owner/Manager. The Owner/Manager will review the formal Rental Application and conduct a screening review. This will involve assessing the applicant’s suitability for tenancy and adhering to the Fair Credit Reporting Act and Fair Housing Laws. Waitlist The Intake Waitlist will convert to a permanent waitlist once the 2 affordable units are leased-up. When vacancies occur, the first eligible applicant on the waitlist will be contacted to inform him/her that a unit is available at the preferred mode of contact as indicated on the Waitlist Intake Form. Three attempts will be made to inform the applicant before proceeding to the next applicant on the list; all attempts will be documented. If the applicant is no longer interested, the application will be removed from the waitlist with an explanation for the reason for the removal from the waitlist. Interested applicants will have 5 business days to provide a completed Formal Rental Application, together with the required documentation as set forth above in order to conduct income certification, employment verification, creditworthiness, and background checks as described in Step 2 and Step 3 above. Commitment To Fair Housing & Nondiscrimination The Owner/Manager is fully committed to enforcing the spirit and the letter of Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968 (Federal Fair Housing Law), the Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the New York Human Rights Act, and the Suffolk County Human Rights Act. Neither the Owner/Manager nor any of its affiliates, employees, agents, or brokers will discriminate in the sale, lease, advertisement or financing of housing against any individual or family because of race, color, national origin, religion, gender, disability, gender identity, marital status, sexual orientation, veteran/military status, source of income, familial status or presence of children in a household, or on the basis of any other protected class.

Reasonable accommodations will be offered to all disabled persons who request accommodations due to disability at any time during the application, resident selection and leasing process.

    a23ebe13-8f72-4470-bca8-a2f314f1454f Home How We Can Help Details Where do you imagine yourself in 5 years? Maybe with a new job? A finished degree? Moving towards home ownership? Whatever your goal is, our Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) program will get you right on track to achieving those goals. Contact us today! Family Self-Sufficiency is a FREE voluntary program that helps families/individuals with a CDLI Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) obtain services to become more economically stable and successful. FSS Participants can work on: Job training and career counseling Budget/Financial health and wealth classes Homebuyer education Self-Improvement Now I take on all my bills without stress, learn how to maintain my money and not waste it. Thanks to the program, I will make it in life. ~ Corey Ricks, FSS Graduate Who is eligible? To be eligible, you must: Be an adult member of a household with a Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8 rental subsidy) in good standing with CDLI Be motivated to become more economically self-sufficient Be willing to sign a Contract of Participation (COP) and participate actively in service coordination with your FSS team member FSS Provides One-one case management; emotional support and encouragement Links to community services Resources-packed online quarterly newsletter Possible cash savings: based on increases in household earned income, also known as Escrow Potential for Voucher Homeownership Escrow Savings Account Escrow is an incentive for FSS families to increase your earned income. It’s an interest-bearing account established by New York State on behalf of the FSS family where deposits are made throughout the duration of the family’s participation in the FSS program if and when their rent increases as a result of increased earned income by anyone in the FSS family. If the participant who signed the Contract of Participation (“Head of FSS family”) successfully completes the program, they are provided with the money saved. If they meet good standing guidelines, the Head of FSS family can request up to half of what they have earned in escrow at any point during their program participation to support needs related to their Service Plan goals. Completing the Contract of Participation The FSS Contract requires that the family comply with the lease. NEW as of August 2022: All FSS family members (not just the Head of FSS family who elected to participate in FSS and signed the Contract) are welfare-free at the time the FSS contract is completed, and that the Head of the FSS family seek and maintain suitable employment. You must have suitable employment in place by your Contract end date to graduate from FSS and receive any escrow you have accrued. The family successfully completes the FSS Program when it fulfills all its obligations under the Contract of Participation on or before the expiration of the contract term. The FSS program helped me maintain a positive outlook on life and continue to make goals as well as accomplish them. It is a strong support system that helped me overcome many issues on my way to self-sufficiency. I have since graduated with my Associates and Bachelor's degree in Graphic Design. ~ Crystal Marquez, FSS Graduate 2023 Nassau and Suffolk FSS Stats: CDLI Summer 2026 FSS Newsletter (English): Summer 2026 FSS News .pdf Download PDF • 2.96MB CDLI Summer 2026 FSS Newsletter (Spanish): Spanish Summer 2026 FSS News .pdf Download PDF • 4.41MB Contact Info - Nassau Phone: (631) 565-7859 Email: cpapp@cdli.org Contact Info - Suffolk Phone: (631) 590-8307 Email: pveliz@cdli.org Interested in the Program?
