Learn about Lotteries

This income restricted home can be applied for through a housing lottery. Below is a step by step outline of the housing lottery process. For more detailed information about income eligibility visit our Income Restricted Housing Guide.

  1. Request a housing lottery application: Fill out the short form to request the housing lottery application.
  2. Lottery Application: Complete the application. If the agent finds problems with your application you will have a chance to edit. Be sure to submit only one application for each development. Submitting more than one application could result in disqualification. You can use the Eligibility Estimator to find out if you’re likely to qualify before you submit your application.
  3. Application approval: After your lottery application has been successfully submitted you’ll be notified of the lottery date and time. 
  4. Lottery Drawing: When the lottery drawing takes place you will receive your number within a week after the lottery is held. You are welcome to attend the lottery drawing in-person.
  5. Ranking and Sorting: Lottery agents will sort applicants into the unit types you applied for (for example, 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom) and by affordability. They will then rank each of those pools of applicants per unit type by the preferences indicated on the application and then their lottery number. A preference may or may not be applied for the following types of applicants: Veterans, senior citizens, first time homebuyers, approved professional artists, Boston residents, Minimum one-person per bedroom, etc. Visit our income-restricted housing guide for more detailed information. 
  6. Selection:  Once the Boston Fair Housing Commission has approved the sorted list, applicants will be selected from the list to view units in the building.
  7. Final Certification:  If you’re happy with the unit you’ve viewed it’s time to submit complete financial information to officially certify your eligibility.
