Who can apply

This program serves very low-income adults with a disability who meet HUD income limits for the Massachusetts area (generally at or below 50% of area median income; many buildings prioritize 30%).

How to apply

  1. Call the building at 617-445-8700 (managed by Maloney Properties LLC) and ask whether the waiting list is open and how to get an application.
  2. Most buildings keep their own waiting list — this is separate from the Boston Housing Authority (BHA) Section 8 voucher list.
  3. Submit proof of income, ID for every household member, and Social Security numbers where available.
  4. When your name comes up, the management office verifies eligibility and offers a unit.
