In 2010 and 2011, we upgraded developments, and bought and rehabilitated foreclosed homes as part of our ongoing effort to provide affordable housing opportunities for Brockton residents.
Federalization of state developments
Rehabilitation of foreclosed homes
Providing safe, affordable housing and renewal for the Brockton community and beyond
is at the core of the BHA.
The community we serve
The BHA manages 1,951 apartments in 16 public housing developments throughout Brockton as well as 1000 rent-assisted apartments/houses. The approximately 85 employees of the BHA serve about 7,000 residents, or about 7% of Brockton's population. We also manage the Section 8 rental assistance program and help develop affordable private homes for ownership and rental that enable families to move beyond public assistance and become self-sufficient.
