Waitlist Information
Waitlist managed by Western Piedmont Council of Governments
The Valdese Public Housing waiting list is currently open for 3 and 4 bedroom units only. Eligibility requires income at or below 50% of HUD Area Median Income, all adult household members must attend an application appointment, and Valdese Public Housing has a smoke-free policy. A preference-scoring model is used, which influences waiting list position.
The Regional Housing Authority will hold a public hearing to receive comments on a revision to the Administrative Plan which increases the minimum monthly rent from $0 to $50 effective 8/1/2026. This implies a change to program operations but not necessarily the waiting list status.
