Boston Jobs with BHA

Local agencies are working to create more Boston jobs for youth this summer.

The Boston Housing Authority recently announced that it will hire 100 youths this summer as part of the Boston Youth Fund. This decision comes in advance of a potential move by the U.S. Senate that would provide $1 billion for summer jobs throughout the nation, resulting in $2 million for Boston and jobs for 1,200 local youths.

In order to be eligible for any of the available positions, youths must be between 15 and 17-years old, currently live in a BHA development, and apply for a position for the city’s summer jobs program by registering with the Hopeline.
