Elderly/Disabled Public Housing
The CHA manages over fifteen state and federally supported properties reserved just for elderly and disabled households.  Applicants must be at least 58 years old to qualify for elderly housing.  Elderly/disabled public housing is for low-income households with incomes not higher than 80% of of the Area Median Income (AMI) for Cambridge.  Please visit the Development Directory for detailed information on each elderly/disabled property CHA manages.

Many of CHA's elderly/disabled developments include a wide variety of medical, nutritional, and social supportive services to elderly and disabled residents.  Please visit the Elder Services section of our website to learn more about services available to elderly and disabled residents.

If you have already applied for elderly/disabled public housing and information about you or anyone else in your household, including your mailing address has changed, please download CHA's Household Information Change Form.

If you would like to change your current development choices, please download CHA's Development Choice Change Form.  Please keep in mind that you can only change your development choices once every twelve months.
