Local rental overview
Source: https://shamass.org/publicHousing.aspx (reviewed 2026-09-28). Springfield Housing Authority (SHA) says it owns and operates 27 developments: 13 for elderly/disabled residents and 14 for families, with scattered sites also described. The directory has 29 named headings, two of which are separately labeled group housing. These are source-published development location lists, not vacancies, per-property unit counts, confirmed individual unit addresses, open waitlists, or proof of criminal-history eligibility. SHA's FAQ reports 2,397 conventional public-housing units across 27 developments (https://shamass.org/faq.aspx); this is an undated program-wide claim, not a current inventory or a property-specific count. SHA's resident-services page calls John I. Robinson Gardens a 136-unit family development (https://shamass.org/residents.aspx); do not allocate these units to its individual listed streets.

Application tips
The official applicants page (https://shamass.org/applicants.aspx), reviewed 2026-09-28, says SHA is currently accepting applications by public-housing PROGRAM, not by named property. State Public Housing categories include standard elderly age 60+ (1–2 bedroom) and family (3–4 bedroom), and emergency applicants (1–4 bedroom); Federal Public Housing categories include elderly/young disabled (1–2 bedroom) and family (2–5 bedroom); State Section 8 Public Housing categories include elderly (1–2 bedroom) and family (2–4 bedroom). These categories do not establish bedroom types, waitlist openings, or vacancies at any named development. Because SHA says waitlists can open or close, verify current intake directly before applying. Its page links CHAMP state housing https://publichousingapplication.ocd.state.ma.us/ and paper federal/state applications. SHA lists its admissions and applications office at 35A Saab Court, Springfield, MA 01104, phone 413-785-4517 (https://shamass.org/contact.aspx); that is an OFFICE, not a residential property address.
Local housing resources
Continuation of SHA's official housing directory (https://shamass.org/publicHousing.aspx), Districts D–F. Street lists identify named development areas; do not assume every listed number is a separate vacant unit or that a grouped heading names one building. The Group Residence heading repeats Arch Street 29–33 from the Group Rehabilitation Center heading; it is not a second ordinary apartment listing.

SHA's resident-services page (https://shamass.org/residents.aspx) describes programs at several developments and identifies six elderly/disabled developments with a combined 1,337 units. That subtotal is for those six only, not the 13 elderly/disabled developments named in SHA's directory. It also reports a public education and job-training center at John L. Sullivan Apartments, 160 Nursery Street; this service address is not the complete housing address list.
