You can pick up an application for housing at the Maynard Housing Authority Office, 15 Powdermill Circle, Maynard, MA during normal business hours. You may download an application from https://publichousingapplication.ocd.state.ma.us or you may call and have one mailed to you.
Q: Can I look at a unit before I apply?
The Maynard Housing Authority does not keep units open for viewing. Our maintenance staff works hard to renovate units as quickly as possible so the next person on our list can be housed. Once you apply and your name comes to the top of the list, you will be made a written offer of a specific unit. At that time, you can call to schedule an appointment to view the unit. We cannot guarantee applicants any specific unit.
Q: How long is the wait for housing?
The wait on each list varies, and it is impossible to give anything but an estimated amount of time. It is best that you ask this question after your application has been entered into the Waiting List system so we can try to give you an estimated answer based on your current placement in the waiting list.
