Staten Island Mitchell-Lama checks use both city and state routes

A Staten Island applicant should not assume every Mitchell-Lama building is handled by the same office. HPD explains the city-supervised Mitchell-Lama program, while HCR maintains the state program route. The practical early question is which agency supervises the development, then whether the waitlist is open, how applications are accepted, and what income or household rules apply.

The same phrase, Mitchell-Lama, can point to different portals and oversight. Match the Staten Island development to the HPD or HCR route before checking a list or calling an agency.

Check both the HPD and HCR Mitchell-Lama routes for the Staten Island development or application involved. Keep the development name, application or log number, contact details, and waitlist notice together so the right program can find the file.
