The agency was the ninth housing authority created in the State of Florida.

The WPBHA owns and operates the Conventional Housing Program and owns 712 public housing units under this program. The WPBHA also administers 2600 vouchers through the Housing Choice Voucher Program. Our agency consistently works to enhance the quality of life for our residents by offering them educational, self-sufficiency and recreational activities. |
