The housing authority has three public housing communities – Whitfield Homes, Forrest Road Homes and EB Jordan Homes – and applicants can apply for all three communities on the same application.
To qualify for public housing, applicants must meet federal income eligibility guidelines and other federal eligibility regulations. Applicants will also need to be able to provide copies of a photo identification for any member of a household over the age of 18, a social security card for all household members and a birth certificate for all household members.
Applications will be considered in the order in which they are returned. Applications that are received from veterans will receive a preference in where they are placed on the waiting list. Households who are currently experiencing homelessness and victims of domestic violence who are currently in a shelter will also receive a preference if the application is accompanied by a signed preference letter.
Generally, households earning up to the income limit in the table below for their household size are eligible for units participating in a HUD rental assistance program in Wilson but actual income limits may differ for units at Whitfield Homes.
