Given the significant gap between the supply of affordable housing and demand, it can be very difficult to locate available housing. Typically, when a unit becomes vacant, the property owner or Monitoring Agent (which is sometimes the Town) conducts a lottery. People interested in having their names placed on waiting lists should reach out to the development, as identified on the list of Affordable Housing Units in Needham.
The Community Housing Specialist, Alison Steinfeld, also maintains a list of households interested in securing affordable housing and provides the list to property owners when units become available; if interested, please email her and provide your contact information for the waiting list. For additional information regarding affordable housing state-wide (including Needham), please visit the following web sites and, as appropriate, sign up to be alerted of available units.
