*** IMPORTANT NOTICE ***

To: All Landlords participating with the Milford Housing Authority:

As a key partner in the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program, your support has been instrumental in providing safe and affordable housing for many families in our community. We are writing to share an important update regarding the funding for this program and to ask for your understanding and cooperation during this challenging time.

Please be advised that effective immediately, The Milford Housing Authority is requesting of you to “defer” any rent increases you anticipate submitting to the Milford Housing Authority until further notice.

As of 2025, the Milford Housing Authority (MHA), along with many housing agencies across Massachusetts, has been facing a funding shortfall. This means that the cost of providing housing assistance through the program has grown faster than the funding we receive from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
