The Chelmsford Housing Authority is committed to providing safe, affordable housing and supportive services to elderly individuals, people with disabilities, and families in need. We believe in fostering dignity, respect, and understanding for every person we serve.
Our mission goes beyond housing—we strive to empower families on their path to self-sufficiency and, ultimately, homeownership. We connect individuals with disabilities to vital local resources tailored to their specific needs, and we support older adults in maintaining independence and aging in place within a vibrant community setting.
Recognizing that compassionate service is essential, we rely on the dedication of our staff, the guidance of our Board of Commissioners, and the strength of our community partnerships. Together, we work to ensure that all residents have access to housing and opportunities that allow them to thrive as valued members of the community.
