Waitlist Information
Waitlist managed by Western Piedmont Council of Governments
Eligibility requires income at or below 50% of HUD AMI; a preference-scoring model is used, and all adult household members must attend an application appointment for rental and criminal history review. Valdese Public Housing has a smoke-free policy.
A public hearing was held 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 suggests the program is active but does not provide current waiting list status.
