Lynn Housing Authority

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.
The Admissions Office entrance is located on the left hand side of Caggiano Plaza. The Admissions hours are Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday 8:00 a.m.- 4:00 p.m. Tuesday, 8:00 a.m.- 7:00 p.m. and Friday 8:00 a.m. - 12:30.
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.
