The Watertown Housing Authority (WHA) is a public non-profit which receives funding from the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The WHA's jurisdiction covers Codington County and the city of Watertown.

The Watertown Housing Authority was created according to South Dakota State Law in 1972. In response of a need for elderly and disabled low income housing in the Watertown community, local volunteers pursued the process of acquiring government funding for housing construction through the Department of Housing & Urban development. The city of Watertown was granted the development funds for a 60-unit Hi-Rise and 25 individual scattered family houses.

The WHA also administers the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program. The Section 8 program allows extremely low and very low income families to obtain rental housing assistance in the private market.

The mission of the Housing Authority of the City of Watertown is to assist low-income families and elderly/disabled individuals with safe, decent, and affordable housing opportunities as they strive to achieve self-sufficiency and improve the quality of the lives.
