149 voucher holders searching Mott Haven, zero active listings — and every interested tenant is looking for a 2BR

149 tenants have either applied to a Mott Haven listing in the last six months or named the neighborhood as a preferred location. There are zero active VoucherMatch listings in Mott Haven today, so any landlord listing here right now has no in-market competition on the platform. The neighborhood sits at the southern tip of the Bronx with 4, 5, and 6 train access, putting Manhattan minutes away.

Demand here has unusually high FHEPS share for a Bronx neighborhood: CityFHEPS leads at 60.2% (65 tenants) but FHEPS is elevated at 34.3% (37 tenants), with HASA at 4.6% (5 tenants). Combined, CityFHEPS plus FHEPS covers nearly the entire local searcher pool — both share NYC payment standards, so a single acceptance policy reaches both groups.

Bedroom-size demand here is remarkably concentrated: every interested tenant in our window is looking for a 2BR (149 of 149). The applicable CityFHEPS 2BR payment standard is $3,058; the FY2026 Section 8 HUD FMR rose to $2,910 from $2,780, a 4.7% year-over-year increase. Mott Haven's pre-war walk-up stock and recent loft conversions typically have 2BR layouts that fit voucher inspection standards and price below the cap.
