MBTA Commuter rail
Section 8 apartments near the MBTA Fairmount Line
The Fairmount Line is Boston's only urban commuter rail — runs from South Station through Roxbury, Dorchester, and Mattapan to Readville. Its 9 stops are inside city limits, and it serves the most voucher-relevant corridor of any Boston commuter rail line.
Voucher discrimination is illegal here
Under Boston’s Fair Housing Ordinance and Massachusetts state law, it is illegal for a landlord in Boston to refuse an applicant because they use a housing voucher. Boston’s ordinance predates state law and carries additional municipal enforcement by the Boston Fair Housing Commission.
