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.

Since our humble beginnings in 1938 our mission has been to develop safe, decent, and affordable housing for low-income families. Today we've become the largest direct provider of affordable housing opportunities in the State of Delaware, managing nearly 2000 units of public, tax credit and market rate housing and administering nearly 1900 housing choice vouchers in a variety of programs. Our programs serve over 7000 low to moderate-income residents of the City of Wilmington. Directly funded by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development, WHA's combined operating, capital and voucher program budgets exceed $30 million annually.
