The Greenfield Housing Authority was formed in 1946 by an
action of Town Meeting members after having determined a need for
housing. On April 13th of 1946, the Secretary of the Common-
wealth of Massachusetts issued a Certificate of
Organization.
The Authority first developed 72 units of Veterans
housing
in 1949 and since that
time has gone to develop elderly housing, congregate
housing for the elderly and disabled, family housing
and a group home for the disabled. In addition, the Authority
has participated in a number of programs
to revitalize downtown properties including SHARP, Core Focus
& 707 Moderate Rehab.
The Greenfield Housing Authority also administers
both state rental assistance (MRVP) and federal
Section 8 Vouchers used by eligible households in privately owned
apartments. The Authority has also developed a successful Family
Self Sufficiency (FSS) program that is designed to assist families
to become self sufficient and free of government assistance. |
