| Boston Housing Authority - Occupancy |
The Occupancy Department receives and processes applications for admission to the Authority's public housing program and maintains the public housing waiting list. The initial application process, as well as questions regarding public housing in general or about status on the waiting list, are handled through the Department's Housing Service Center at 56 Chauncy Street. The Department also coordinates requests for resident transfers and oversees the transfer review process. Occupancy is responsible for the screening of prospective residents and for determinations as to their eligibility for housing. The Department also coordinates the offer and assignment of units for applicants and residents receiving new units.
