The Norwood Housing Authority is a government administration agency based in Norwood, Massachusetts, established in 1948 to provide and maintain affordable housing for low- and moderate-income individuals and families. It owns and manages five low-income housing developments in Norwood, four of which were designed for elderly and handicapped residents, totaling 403 one-bedroom apartments, along with a family development, Washington Heights, offering 75 two- and three-bedroom units. In addition to on-site housing, the authority administers over 340 Federal Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers, funded through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, which subsidize rents in privately owned housing and apartments, with participants paying a portion of their income. The organization operates within the housing and community development sector, providing rental housing options and rental subsidies to its target market of low- to moderate-income households in the area. The Norwood Housing Authority serves as a local housing administrator, balancing its portfolio of on-site developments with federal voucher programs to expand affordable housing access in the region.
