Poughkeepsie Town, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 52 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 52-7
Unit size
Operative Text
Qualified applicants will be eligible for a unit size based on the number of persons in the household, as follows: Number of Persons in the Household Unit Size Studio One-Bedroom Two-Bedroom Three-Bedroom Four-Bedroom 1 X X 2 X X X 3 X X X 4 X X X 5 or more X X
Poughkeepsie Town Code ch. 52 § 52-7 establishes a chart that links household size to the range of unit sizes for which a household qualifies. Smaller households are eligible for smaller units, while larger households gain access to larger unit types, with some overlap allowing households of certain sizes to qualify for more than one unit size. The rule sets outer boundaries on both the minimum and maximum unit size a household may be assigned based on how many people it contains.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under ch. 52 § 52-7, compliant operators generally consult the household-size-to-unit-size chart when screening qualified applicants and confirm that the unit offered falls within the permitted range for that household's count. Maintaining clear records of household size at the time of application helps demonstrate that unit assignments align with the eligibility matrix. Operators typically apply this chart consistently across all applicants to avoid disparate treatment claims.

Section 52-7 of Poughkeepsie Town Code ch. 52 gives qualified applicants the right to be considered for any unit size listed as eligible for their household count on the chart. If a household believes it has been offered or denied a unit in a way that does not match the eligibility matrix, that concern can be raised with the administering local housing authority or a tenant-rights organization familiar with Poughkeepsie Town's affordable housing program. Reviewing the chart directly can help a household understand which unit sizes it is entitled to be considered for.
