About this waiting list

The Boston Housing Authority (BHA) is currently accepting Public Housing waiting list applications for families and senior/disabled households.

The following documentation is required at the briefing session: Birth dates, Social Security Numbers, income, photo ID. If you are unable to attend a session because of a disability, an application can be mailed to you by calling (617) 988-3400, during normal office hours. Be sure to include documented proof from you doctor, explaining why you weren't able to apply in person. No preferences were noted. Important note: Applicants who have been placed on the waiting list must inform the housing authority immediately if your application information changes (such as contact information, income, and household members). In the case that the office sends a notice that does not get returned, or if application information is out of date, your name may be terminated from the waiting list.
