AFFORDABLE HOUSING LOTTERY
Who sees what
The lottery runs on proof, not on exposure. Each party sees exactly what its role requires — and the public record never holds a document.
Rex
THE APPLICANT
- The application and its reference number
- Every document and its verification status
- The drawing receipt, the selection, the lease
Agent + HPD
THE REVIEWERS
- The documents Rex submitted, for exactly as long as review takes
- The declared household and income, against the AMI band
- The log order — who is next, never who is everyone
The public ledger
EVERYONE ELSE
- Events: requested, submitted, verified, selected
- Hashes that prove the events happened, in order
- Never a document, a name, or an income
Income proofs never touch the record
Rex's pay stubs and tax returns live with the reviewers who need them, for exactly as long as review takes. What the ledger keeps is the event — income verified against the advertised band — and the proof that the event is real.
