Housing Program
The Framingham Housing Authority and the Framingham Police Department began a part-time program in 1994 after reviewing issues in its developments that took both time and resources from the police and housing staff. After seeing much success at a part-time level, and the work multiplying, it was decided in 1996 to form a full time partnership to enhance the quality of life for the residents of the Framingham Housing.
The authority subsidizes approximately 800 housing units under the Section 8 Federal Rental Assistance Program throughout the city, and also owns 1,069 public housing units.
