So Much More Than Housing

The Washington Housing Authority (WHA) has supported families in Washington, NC for more than 60 years - and today, we are proud to be so much more than housing. We provide safe, affordable homes, but we also serve as a partner, a connector, and a source of opportunity for the families who rely on us.

More than 750 families across our public housing and Housing Choice Voucher programs count on WHA for stability and a pathway forward. Our community is full of talent, compassion, and service, and we believe that strong partnerships are the key to helping families thrive. That's why we work closely with nonprofits, faith-based groups, civic organizations, and local leaders to expand access to job training, youth programs, financial literacy, health and wellness resources, and more.

To the families we serve: your goals matter, your voice matters, and your future matters. We encourage every resident to engage with the programs and partners available to you - and to give back to our community in positive and meaningful ways.

Our vision is simple: a Washington where every family has a foundation for success and every child grows up with opportunity. This is work we can only accomplish together.

WHA remains committed to collaboration, innovation, and service - because we are, and will always be, so much more than housing.

Warm regards,
Franklin Scott Jr. 
Chief Executive Officer
