NWHA Waitlist
The North Wilkesboro Housing Authority is closing its One Bedroom Waiting List effective December 13, 2024 at 4:00 p.m. All other waiting lists will remain open.
There is no scheduled date to re-open the One-Bedroom Waiting List at this time.
When NWHA is prepared to re-open the waiting list, a public notice will be issued.
Applications will not be accepted for the One Bedroom Waiting List after the closing date and time; however, the NWHA will maintain a list of individuals who wish to be notified when the waiting list is re-opened.
The NWHA waiting list changes often. Please call to find out your position on the waiting list. If you have applied for housing but have not received an approval letter then you have not been added to the waiting list. Please wait until after you receive a letter to call about your status.
