Cambridge Housing Authority

The Cambridge Housing Authority (CHA) is a housing authority based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, employing 102 individuals. The organization generates an estimated $50 million in annual revenue. CHA specializes in providing subsidized affordable housing for low-income individuals and families, including the elderly, families, and people with disabilities. Their services aim to offer safe, quality housing options that promote self-sufficiency, community engagement, and responsible citizenship within the housing community. In 2013, CHA projected assistance to over 5,000 low-income households. Recognized as a national leader in affordable housing, CHA participates in the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Moving to Work (MTW) program. This program grants regulatory flexibility to select housing authorities, empowering them to develop innovative, market-driven solutions to address housing needs. CHA utilizes the flexibility provided by MTW to pursue development and programming goals that might be unattainable due to limited federal funding in subsidized housing programs.
