Section 8 is open again

Section 8 Voucher Re-Opened until Oct 31st.

The Boston Housing Authority has re-opened its Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) Program waiting list for Priority One applicants only. Priority One applicants are those families and individuals in most emergent need of housing such as victims of domestic violence, homelessness, displacement by fire or condemned housing and no fault eviction. Those applicants can submit their application with the Priority One Self-Certification form in person by October 31, 2006 at 5pm or by mail, postmarked no later than October 31, 2006. For a complete list of requirements, please visit the BHA's website at www.bostonhousing.org. Forms are available by calling 617-988-4200 or 617-988-4549 or by visiting BHA's Housing Service Center at 56 Chauncy Street in Boston. For more information, please call 617-988-4000.

The waiting list has been closed for over 2 years and is only reopened for this month. Because there are only 2 weeks left, our office needs your help in spreading the words. Thank you.
