About This Lynn Housing Authority
The Admissions Office of LHAND is in charge of managing and processing applications for Federal and State subsidized housing programs. Interested applicants can obtain application forms from the Admissions Office located at 174 South Common Street. The office is easily accessible through the entrance located on the left-hand side of Caggiano Plaza. The office hours are as follows: Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Tuesday from 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., and Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Due to the high demand for affordable rental housing in Lynn City, the waiting lists for LHAND's subsidized housing programs often exceed annual vacancy rates. To manage this demand, the organization keeps their waiting lists closed, except in specific cases. These occasions are determined either by the size of the applicant pool or the organization's policies regarding the opening of waiting lists. For more information regarding the availability of LHAND's waiting lists, interested parties can visit their website or contact the Admissions Office. To qualify for LHAND's subsidized housing programs, applicants will need to meet the eligibility criteria outlined in the Occupancy Management Handbook. This handbook outlines the tenant selection procedures and is consistent with state and federal requirements. Eligibility criteria may vary depending on the specific program, and LHAND will evaluate all applications based on the information provided by the applicant. LHAND has recently introduced a Veteran's Preference for their Federal Programs, which include HCV, Wall Plaza, and Curwin Circle. This preference is given to head of household veterans or their widowed spouses.
