An affordable housing lottery has opened for 26 units in a new Glendale building — with rent starting below $1,000 a month.

The apartments are located in a newly constructed five-story building located at 80-97 Cypress Ave. near Highland Park.

The 26 units, a mix of studios, one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments, are available to households earning up to 60 percent of the area median income through the lottery. For a family of four, 60 percent equates to $71,580.

The other 40 units in the 66-unit building are reserved for community members with special needs or who were formerly homeless through the organization WellLife Network — which offers services to people with intellectual disabilities and mental health issues.

“This life-changing initiative will target New York’s most vulnerable citizens in need of supportive housing,” WellLife Network said in a statement.

The building features a rooftop garden, a communal event room, an exercise facility, a laundry room and “forest-like” landscaping.

The affordable housing lottery units are open to households who make between $34,218 and $77,340 a year. Residents of Community Board 5—which includes areas such as Ridgewood, Glendale, Middle Village and Maspeth—are given a preference for half of the lottery apartments.

Ten studio apartments are available for $900 a month for households of one to two people who make between $34,218 and $57,300 combined annually.

Six one-bedroom apartments are available for $1,132 a month for households of one to three people who make between $42,583 and $64,440 combined annually.

Ten two-bedroom apartments are available for $1,350 a month for households of two to four people who make between $51,052 and $77,340 combined annually.

A full breakdown of the eligible income requirements is below.
