Our Admissions Office is responsible for distributing and processing applications for the LHAND's Federal and State subsidized housing programs. Applications are available, when applicable, at the Admissions Office. This office is currently located at 174 South Common Street.

Given the high demand for affordable rental housing in the City of Lynn, the waiting lists of the LHAND often exceed annual turnover rates for each program.
Because of this strong demand and the ample pool of applicants for it's programs, the LHAND keeps its Waiting Lists closed except for specific occasions. These occasions are determined by either the size of the applicant pool (periodic opening) or the LHAND's policies regarding the opening of waiting lists. For more information regarding current waitlist openings please visit wait list openings or call the Admissions Office at 781-581-8760.
Program Eligibility
The LHAND's Occupancy Management Handbook describes the tenant selection procedures. The instructions and information provided in the handbook are consistent with state and federal requirements.

Important information
Waiting Lists
Most low income apartments have waiting lists. Some of these lists can take years until you can be called for openings. The key is to try to get on as many waiting lists as possible.

Call The Apartments Directly
We provide phone numbers and websites. Call the apartments directly if they have openings or open waiting lists.

Apartment Rates
We provide current apartment rates on many listing pages. Most HUD listings do not have published rates. They are based on 30% of the renters adjustable gross income. You will need to contact the apartments to determine if you qualify for income based rent.
