BHA EXPECTING NEW WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE UNITS

In a letter dated September 3 rd Lydia Agro, Communications Director for the Boston Housing Authority (BHA), announced a public awareness campaign about the availability of 300 BHA apartments newly renovated to be wheelchair accessible. As close readers of this space may recall, this renovation was required by the federal government. BHA is rolling-out a new website: www.bostonhousing.org/detpages/hservices527.html which lists available accessible apartments by bedroom size and location. The site also offers a listserv open to anyone who wants to receive automatic updates as new units become available. While the BHA public housing waiting list is currently closed, those who need a wheelchair accessible apartment may still apply.
