Brooke House at Omsted Village

99 W Main St, Boston, MA 02126 · HUD Section 202 Sec. 202

How this works: this is a subsidized apartment community for adults 62+ with low income — rent is generally capped near 30% of what you earn, with the federal program covering the rest. It is independent housing (not a care facility). Most have a waiting list, so apply early and to several. Who qualifies: generally 62+ with income at or below about 50% of your area’s median income, and many units target very-low-income (30%). The limit varies by county and household size — look up your county’s limit ↗, or ask the property. How to qualify & apply →
