The Arlington Housing Authority operates several housing assistance programs which provide direct housing in government-owned developments or subsidized housing in privately-owned dwellings for persons of low or very low income. There are elderly housing units in five modern developments: the Robert Hauser Memorial Building, Drake Village, Chestnut Manor, Winslow Towers and Gerald Cusack Terrace. In addition, Menotomy Manor offers housing for families in both duplex and townhouse units. Other subsidized housing plans are also available.

  We are governed by our Board of Commissioners, four of whom are elected by Arlington voters, and one who is appointed by the Governor. The Executive Director, charged with the day to day administration of the Authority, is assisted by a full-time staff. We receive no operating funds from the Town of Arlington. All funding is from the state or federal government.

  We are here to serve you, and hope we can be of assistance in your housing need. You will find answers to most of your questions in these pages, but if you require further information, please feel free to call on us.
