New HUD Eviction Notice Rule

Wilson Housing Authority is now required to provide a 30-day notice prior to any adverse action for eviction for non-payment of rent instead of the previous 14 days.  If you receive a 30-day termination letter for non-payment of rent, a list of community resources will also be provided per the notice requirement.  This ruling has become effective December 8, 2021.  For more information, the PIH Notice 2021-29 can be found by clicking on the link below

PUBLIC HOUSING

Public (low-income) housing was established to provide decent and safe rental housing for eligible low-income families, the elderly, and persons with disabilities.

Public (low-income) housing is limited to low-income families and individuals. WHA determines eligibility based on:

1. Annual gross income
2. Local preferences (subject to change based on the agency’s Annual Plan)
3. U.S. citizenship or eligible immigration status.

In addition to subsidizing living units for various family sizes, WHA offers public (low-income) housing units that are specifically designated for seniors and adults with disabilities.
