No. This filter is market-relative affordability based on median asking rent versus the neighborhood median. It is not income-restricted housing, subsidized housing, NYCHA, HPD, Section 8, or a housing-lottery/affordable-housing program.

Asking rent alone usually doesn’t reflect your full monthly cost. Broker fees, security deposits, and utilities (and sometimes other building fees) can change your total monthly budget even if the unit looks affordable on paper.

Openigloo aggregates signals like tenant-reported information and review/rating data, but building policies and unit availability can change. Always confirm current terms directly with the building (fees, lease terms, and what’s included).

Confirm the total move-in costs, the lease term options, renewal terms, and any documentation requirements. Also verify the exact unit’s rent and what utilities or other monthly charges are included.
