Hi! Does anyone know what the "under review" status means on the housing connect 2 portal? It says "last updated 01/27/22", I know my application was sent for HPD final approval mid January so does that last updated date mean someone took a peek at my application or that's just when it was received by HPD? Also. how long does it usually take for them to review it and make a decision? Like what are they reviewing exactly cause this is like the "final approval" not really sure what that means lol.

Thanks in advance

Hi ! From what I heard when I checked in with the person that processed my paperwork. That means HPD has began to review your documents finally. It would switched from under review to complete when they are done. Also I was told that HPD is currently viewing all preferences right now. They have not began to review general population yet (me). For example my documents have been submitted over three weeks ago but because I have no preferences they have not been viewed yet by HPD, my profile still says “pending appointment” even thought I am way ahead. Hang in there, u are almost at the finish line.

Thanks! I thought it was just me lol, i found it weird my housing connect status still said "pending appointment" up until it changed to that under review on the 27th. But hopefully yes it means I will be contacted soon. I hope you are going for one or two bedrooms as I noticed they have a lot of apartments for that 60% AMI! Hopefully that means you will be called soon after the preferences I'm so curious what the inside of apartments look like lol I wish they had posted some updated pics sheesh.

Good luck to you and i'll post updates here if anything changes!

@acave123 I just checked the site again and it says "review complete"; i called my agent and she said yes I was approved thank God Now I just have to wait for the developers to reach my application to call me to schedule a viewing. Man this thing is so nerve wrecking sheesh. She said it can take a couple weeks for that. Just wanted to share the update and send good vibes to you! Hopefully your status changes to complete status soon too!!

@QueensMom02 Great, glad the approval came through. Hopefully you get a call ASAP to view apartment. I wish they had actual pictures up lol. Thank you, looking forward to my approval.

Congratsssss . I’m Sooo Happy For You. That Anxious Feeling Is Now Gone. Lol.

I’m Still Waiting To Hear Back. I Want To Email The Agent But I Think I’ll Wait Until Tomorrow Evening To Say Something. I Don’t Want To Look Like A Annoying Bug Lol. I Gave Her My Information On MONDAY. So Friday Should Be a Ideal Time To Follow Up.

Thank you so much Ashanti720!! Honestly I am STILL ANXIOUS lol. I don't think I will relax until I see the apartment and get told I can sign the lease. Technically if by the time they reach me if the apartments in my size are gone than I don't get it, but I am going to remain positive that I was approved by HPD and that it means there is an apartment meant to be for my little family waiting tight for us! My agent said it can take a couple weeks for them to call me with a viewing date so time to start praying they call me FAST so i can be out of my misery hahaha!
I know the feeling of not wanting to bother them, my agent is so kind every time I would tell her that she would say i'm not bother but I still felt bad with them handling so many applications. Def wait till tomorrow but not the weekend lol so that you aren't all tense all weekend. Sending the best vibes your way!!
