Housing Authority

Charge

The Bourne Housing Authority (BHA) was established in 1965 to provide and maintain affordable housing for low and moderate income persons pursuant to Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 121B.

The Housing Authority operates under guidelines set by regulatory agencies including the Massachusetts Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) and the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

Our mission is to provide safe, decent, and sanitary housing conditions for low to moderate income individuals and families, to promote affordable housing, to manage resources efficiently, and support and encourage the well-being and economic self-sufficiency of BHA residents.

Membership

There is a five-member Board of Commissioners responsible for policy making and general administration of the Authority. Four members are elected by town voters and the fifth is appointed by the Commonwealth.
