About Holden Housing Authority

The Holden Housing Authority office is located at 9 Flagler Drive in Holden at the site of Checkerberry Village, our elderly housing complex. We administer state and federally subsidized housing programs for low income individuals and families. Our state programs consist of 48 elderly/disabled units at Checkerberry Village, eight units of 705 three bedroom family housing, and the Massachusetts Rental Voucher Program. We also administer 59 vouchers from the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program that is funded by the federal government. Individuals assisted by this program and the Massachusetts Rental Voucher Program rent units in the private market in Holden surrounding communities.
Eligibility for these programs is based on income and family size. To be eligible for elderly housing, individuals must be at least 60 years old or have a qualifying disability. Residents of Holden have local preference for Checkerberry Village. Income limits are set by the state and are adjusted periodically. Individuals with questions should contact the housing authority.
The apartments at Checkerberry Village are one bedroom units. The community building contains a room for group activities as well as a laundry, greenhouse and fully equipped kitchen. Our tenant's association is an active one that holds monthly meetings and sponsors activities such as a weekly coffee hour, bingo games and dinners.
In 2006, the Holden Housing Authority agreed to be monitoring agent for Holden Hills Condominiums, an affordable homeownership condominium project that is being developed in Holden. The monitoring agent for an affordable housing project works with the Town and developer to assure that the affordable units are sold to eligible buyers at an affordable price. As the monitoring agent, the Holden Housing Authority will also monitor the resale of these units in the future to assure that they are sold at an affordable price to income eligible buyers.
