About Us

NYHousingSearch.gov is a FREE public service provided by New York State Homes and Community Renewal (HCR).

NYHousingSearch.gov allows people to locate housing that meets their individual and family needs at a rent they can afford. It can be accessed online 24 hours a day and is supported by a toll-free, bilingual call center available Monday - Friday, 9:00 am - 8:00 pm EST.

The fast, easy-to-use, FREE search lets people look for rental housing using a wide variety of criteria and special mapping features. Housing listings display detailed information about each unit. The service also provides links to housing resources and helpful tools for renters such as an affordability calculator, rental checklist, and information about renter rights and responsibilities.

Property owners and managers, including housing authorities and private landlords, can use this service to manage their property listings FREE of charge. Listings can include pictures, maps, and information about nearby amenities. Property owners and housing authorities can register and manage listings online or via phone and fax.

We hope this user-friendly, statewide housing locator service assists you in making an informed decision about the place you will potentially call home.

NYHousingSearch.gov is powered by Emphasys Software and supported by our toll-free call center.
