Public and Leased Housing Services
The Lowell Housing Authority’s Division of Leased Housing and Admissions administers the Authority’s Federal Public Housing, Section 8 Leased Housing Program, as well as a number of other rental assistance programs. It subsidizes thousands of eligible families in privately owned apartments, providing an alternative to the Authority’s conventional public housing. Our staff consists of administrative aides, housing technicians, who provide support for our programs, support service access, and voucher portability.
