Information on Grandparents Housing Program

Introduction

Those age 60 and over and/or disabled with legal custody of 1 or 2 grandchildren of the same gender are eligible to apply for BHA's Grandparents Housing Program. The apartments are located at BHA’s Franklin Field development in Dorchester. They have recently been renovated and opened in November 2002.

While the BHA has already held a lottery to fill the units, there may be units still available. These units will be made available on a first-come, first-serve basis. The waiting list will also be established on a first-come, first-serve basis.

One may apply for both the Grandparents Housing Program, elderly/disabled housing and family public housing using the same application.
