Participants must find their own apartment that meets HUD housing quality standards. The rent must be no more than the Fair Market Rates. The WHA provides housing for low- income families, the elderly, and the disabled who are otherwise unable to obtain adequate housing. We are governed by our Board of Commissioners, four of whom are elected by Wayland voters, and one who is appointed by the Governor. The WHA receives no funding from the Town of Wayland.
All funding is derived from our residents' rent payments along with state and federal subsidies.
Enter on Shawmut Avenue. We recommend applying for all programs which are appropriate for you. If you have any questions or need help in filling out an application, feel free to come in to talk with our staff.
