NEIGHBORHOOD
West Bridgewater, located between Boston and Providence at the junction of Routes 24 and 106, is a rural and residential area bordering the city of Brockton. Areas that enjoy the benefits of a nearby city while remaining primarily residential have been growing in popularity, and West Bridgewater is no exception. This access has resulted in increased commercial, warehouse and industrial activity near the highway in the community, which was once primarily agricultural. West Bridgewater does, however, retain working farms which contribute to its scenic character. There is Matfield Maple Farm, which sells lambs and makes maple syrup, and family-run Stonecroft Farm, which offers riding lessons and sells and leases horses.
West of Center Apartments is approximately 0.2 miles to Route 24/Fall River Expressway and about 1.7 miles to Route 138. Additionally, it is approximately 5.9 miles, or a 15-minute drive from the Campello MBTA Commuter Rail Station in Brockton.
LOTTERY PROCESS
Applications will be distributed between the dates stated above. Applications will be made available online, by mail, and in person during the scheduled distribution times.

Please note that entry in the Lottery Drawing does not constitute qualification or eligibility. Applicant’s eligibility will be determined post-lottery.
FAQ / FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Income Questions:
How is my income calculated?
The household income is calculated based on the gross income of the household. Commissions, bonuses and other regular payments are included and considered part of the gross annual income.
I didn’t file taxes last year. What do I need to provide?
Individuals or households who did not file taxes must provide a verification of non-filing from the IRS in lieu of a tax return. To obtain the verification of non-filing, applicants should fill out a 4506-T form and file it by mail or hand-deliver it to an IRS office. The IRS will mail back a letter of verification which must be provided with the income materials given to the marketing agent. See the IRS website to download a 4506-T form.
I received a pay raise between the time I picked up an application and the time I was income certified and now I am over the income limit. What do I do?
Income is calculated at the time the applicant submits an application to the lottery agent, not during the application process or at the time of the lottery. Eligibility must be maintained from the time of the application pick up until after income certification verification. Unfortunately, if an applicant’s income is over the income limit, the applicant will not be eligible for the particular unit for which they applied.
I have children in school/college, how does this affect my application?
Income from children in school/college under the age of 18 is not considered towards the income of the household.
Are student loans considered income?
Student loans are not considered income and may not be used to income qualify.
I am separated from my spouse, does this affect my application?
Legally married couples shall both be considered part of the household, even if separated. Applicants with additional questions regarding this policy must speak with the marketing agent/seller.
I would like to appeal a decision regarding income eligibility. How do I appeal? Applicants who are rejected will receive a rejection letter in writing and will be given 7 days for the opportunity to appeal the decision.
