The CUNY Housing Access Pilot
The CUNY Housing Access Pilot is designed to offer continuing undergraduate students the opportunity to reside in a reasonably priced shared-space dormitory in Midtown Manhattan. Further details regarding eligibility criteria, along with answers to frequently asked questions, are available on the CUNY Housing Access Pilot webpage.
There are 120 beds, organized in quadruple rooms, being made available at 569 Lexington Avenue at E. 51st Street. The monthly rent will be approximately $969 per student. To be considered, students must complete and submit an application. Applications will be accepted in the order they are received. The application portal will close once 360 completed applications have been received and only those applications will be accepted for consideration.
