Our Mission
At the Medway Housing Authority (MHA), our mission is to provide safe, high-quality, and affordable housing for low-income individuals and families. We’re committed to fostering a strong sense of community where residents can feel secure, supported, and empowered to become self-reliant.
Located in Medway, Massachusetts, MHA manages public housing programs that offer rental assistance to eligible households. These programs follow the guidelines set by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities (EOHLC).
Because of high demand, our waiting lists may be long. If you’re interested in applying for housing or would like to learn more about eligibility, available units, or the status of our waiting lists, please contact our office — we’re happy to help!
