Boston Housing Authority

Overview

As the largest housing provider in Boston, we build and support healthy, sustainable communities that bring stability, opportunity, and peace of mind to thousands of low- and moderate-income families across Boston. We are committed to the idea that public support for affordable housing is an essential investment in Boston's quality of life. Publicly funded housing programs are a contemporary and humane solution to the housing challenges our city faces. Our residents are the lifeblood of our community—our neighbors, friends, and coworkers. For many, BHA is the difference between home and homelessness. We empower vital communities to improve quality of life, encourage self-sufficiency, and create economic opportunities. Our youth program will be offered to BHA residents (public housing and Section 8) as well as members of the surrounding communities. We aim to create opportunities that empower our young residents to explore pathways for their future, including education, workforce development, and work skills. Our target demographic will be residents ages 14-21. We will collaborate with YEO and other city departments and local organizations to provide resources and facilitate workshops on topics of interest for our youth.
