About Wilmington Housing Authority

Over the years our vision has expanded as we've seen the opportunities that abound in public housing. Opportunities for programs that help resident’s improve their economic standing, and increase their community involvement; Opportunities to partner with public and private stakeholders on innovative projects; And opportunities to improve accountability, transparency, policy, and practice. While challenges like recent cuts to our program funding—where we're expected to do more with less—are sure to come; We will continue to find and implement solutions that help our residents and communities thrive. So come and see how were upgrading facilities, implementing green building practices, improving operational efficiency, and so much more. In short, we think you'll agree that we're working to change the perception of public housing from "the housing of last resort" to the housing of new opportunity.
