The waiting list is currently CLOSED

Waiting List Information

Families wishing to apply for the multi-family program (PBRA) with the Housing Authority of the City of Winder will be required to complete an electronic application for housing assistance. Applications will be accepted online at wha.winderhousing.com when the waiting list reopens.

Application Process

Applications are taken to compile a waiting list, and applicants are ranked preferences and then date and time of application. Completed applications will be accepted for all applicants and the Winder Housing Authority will verify the information. Applicants with no access to computers may visit our office at The Wimberly Center for Community Development, 163 Martin Luther King Jr. Drive or visit the Winder Piedmont Library at 189 Bellview Street, Winder. Persons with disabilities who require a reasonable accommodation in completing an application may call the Winder Housing Authority to make special arrangements. We utilize 711, a TTY-based Telecommunications Relay Service, to permit persons with a hearing or speech disability to use the telephone system via a text telephone (TTY) or other device to call persons with or without such disabilities.

Who Is Eligible?

PBRA housing is limited to low-income families and individuals. WHA determines your eligibility based on: 1) annual gross income; 2) whether you qualify as elderly, a person with a disability, or as a family; and 3) U.S. citizenship or eligible immigration status. If you are eligible, the WHA will check your references to make sure you and your family will be good tenants. WHA will deny admission to any applicant whose habits and practices may be expected to have a detrimental effect on other tenants or on the project’s environment. All screening is done in accordance with the Tenant Selection and Assignment Plan.
