Local Housing Authorities
Housing Authority offices are responsible for taking applications and managing public housing units and rental subsidies. Contact individual Housing Authorities to have an application mailed or faxed to you. Section 8 Applications may be submitted once to any participating Housing Authority to be placed on a centralized (state-wide) wait list. You do not need to contact each office. You can also download and print from the MassNAHRO website at www.massnahro.org. Submitted applications must contain an original signature so it must be mailed or delivered to a participating Housing Authority. The Section 8 waitlist is several years long. Public Housing Applications must be submitted to each individual Housing Authority. Each town manages its own public housing, and waitlists vary from town to town. **IMPORTANT** Once you are placed on a waitlist, you must notify each Housing Authority, in writing, of any change of address. Waitlist verifications are sent out periodically from each Housing Authority and if no response is received, you will be removed from the waitlist. No exceptions.
