Mansfield Housing Authority

This program is funded by the federal government and administered by the Housing Authority. It assists participants with rental payments with private landlords rather than government housing. When a voucher is issued, the participant can look for a rental unit in our jurisdiction which includes the towns of Mansfield, Coventry, Willington, Ashford and Chaplin that meets the Fair Market Rent as set forth by the federal government. The participant is required to live in our jurisdiction for the first year. The apartment is inspected by the Housing Authority, a lease is signed between the Landlord and the participant, and a Housing Assistance Program (HAP) agreement is signed between the Landlord and the Housing Authority.
