Does the BHA check an applicants past history in order to determine if he/she is eligible for housing?
Yes. The BHA checks an applicant’s past rental history and also does a criminal records check to help determine if an applicant is eligible for housing. If an applicant is determined not eligible for housing, the applicant has the right to file an appeal with the BHA. For more information on filing an appeal, applicants may call the BHA’s Office of Civil Rights at 617-988-4383.
