State-funded public housing for seniors and people with disabilities is open to households where one member of the household is at least 60 years of age or has a disability and meets certain income guidelines. The Walpole Housing Authority manages 118 Elderly and Under-Aged Disabled units at two complexes consisting of only one-bedroom units..

Housing Choice Vouchers Program (“Section 8”)

The Housing Choice Vouchers Program (often referred to as “Section 8”) is the federal government’s primary program to provide housing for Americans who are living in poverty, as well as the elderly and disabled. It provides qualifying families with assistance in paying the monthly rental fee for homes and apartments that are located anywhere, not just in subsidized housing properties. In every major market in the country it is administered locally by municipal public housing agencies, which certify the tenants and residences for participation in the program.
Information about the Housing Choice Vouchers Program, including eligibility requirements for both tenants and landlords’ residences, can be found from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development at www.hud.gov
