Subsidized Apartments in Groton for Low Income Households
Please refer to the income chart below to determine your income eligibility for subsidized apartments.
Groton Housing Authority – apartments serving families and senior/disabled individuals. Rents set as a percentage of income. See Groton Housing Authority flyer and CHAMP application. Applicants can now apply online, which has several advantages over a paper application. Applicants using the CHAMP online application can apply for numerous housing authorities at the same time. And, applicants can use the online access to make corrections to their application.
Many people apply to the state supported housing authorities. The housing authorities provide deeply subsidized apartments to low income households. Generally, waitlists are shortest for seniors aged 60 and up. And generally, the longest waits are for families with children and disabled adults who are not seniors (age 18 to 59). The state selects applicants based on a system of preferences and priorities. If you have an urgent need for subsidized housing and are applying to a housing authority, it is important that your application fully explain how you might qualify for priorities and preferences that will result in being offered an apartment sooner.
You can receive a preference and be placed higher on the waitlist if you are a veteran or if you live in the town where the housing authority is located.
You can receive a priority and be placed on the emergency waitlist – a much faster list – if your situation matches one of the recognized homeless priorities. Please see this checklist for a description of each priority. And another description of the priority system can be found in this guidance.
