Manage Unit Type Information

The MassAccess Housing Registry stores information about the unit types in a development rather than about specific units.

A development may include multiple units types, each with its own set of unique features (for example, number of bedrooms, affordability level, and accessibility status).

Post a Vacancy

To post a vacancy, simply update the number of available units or the first available date for a particular unit type.
