CLINTON HILL, BROOKLYN — A free seminar on July 14 will teach New Yorkers if they're eligible for the city's affordability housing developments and how they can enter housing lotteries.

The meeting will start at 6:30 p.m. at the Brown Memorial Baptist Church, located at 44 Washington Ave. near the Navy Yard.

Attendees will learn whether their income levels qualify them for affordable housing, as well as how they can use the city's Housing Connect website to apply for open units.

The event is being put on by the Fifth Avenue Committee. If you'd like to attend, you must RSVP by calling 718-237-2017 x169 and leaving your name, a phone number, and the number of people who will join you.

Earlier this week, applications were opened up for 259 affordable units at a new development in East New York. (The deadline to apply is Sept. 2.)

A flier advertising the July 14 seminar circulated by Councilwoman Laurie Cumbo's office stated that the meeting will also discuss the BAM South development at 300 Ashland Pl. in Fort Greene. That property has yet to start taking applications. Earlier this year, applications were accepted for an adjacent building at 250 Ashland Pl.

DNAinfo reported that BAM South will contain 76 affordable units.
