Housing Authority Resources

Eligibility

To be eligible for public and subsidized housing, your income must be below certain income limits. You must also meet other qualifications. Income limits for public housing and vouchers are set by the government and change every year. Income limits for multifamily subsidized housing vary from development to development.

Apply

To apply for public housing, you must submit an application to the housing authority in the city or town where you would like to live. There are 237 housing authorities in Massachusetts. You can apply to as many as you want. In some cases you may apply to the individual development and/or to the private management company that operates the development.
