Housing Programs

Housing Program:

• The Town of Oyster Bay Housing Authority maintains 910 units of low income housing  for seniors and families at 11 locations throughout the Town of Oyster Bay.

• Housing Priority: Priority is given to those who reside within the Town of Oyster Bay. Depending upon size, location and availability, the waiting period for occupancy is approximately three (3) to five (5) years or longer.

• Complex Amenities: Every complex contains amenities such as laundry facilities and a community center.  Although the Authority and the Town of Oyster Bay are legally separate entities, they cooperate in making social programs available to seniors at each complex.

• The Housing Authority is an autonomous body responsible for maintaining housing for seniors and families on a fixed income.  Prior to its establishment in 1967, there was no such housing in the Town of Oyster Bay. Since 1967, eleven complexes have been made available to residents who qualify for housing.

• The eleven complexes are located in seven communities: (1) Oyster Bay hamlet (1) Bethpage,(1) Plainedge (2) Massapequa (1) Syosset, (1) Hicksville (2) Plainview and (2) Old Bethpage.
