To best address affordable housing needs within the city, the City Council of the City of Westminster activated the Westminster Housing Authority (WHA) on February 9, 2011, with findings that unsafe or unsanitary housing conditions exist, and that there is a shortage of safe and sanitary housing.

Westminster Housing Authority as the Redevelopment Housing Successor

In 2012, following the dissolution of the former Westminster Redevelopment Agency (RDA), the Westminster Housing Authority (WHA) was designated as the Housing Successor for redevelopment housing functions. The WHA is responsible for increasing, improving, and preserving the community’s supply of low and moderate income housing available at affordable housing costs.

Below is a list of projects the WHA has provided financial assistance to facilitate the development of rent-restricted housing throughout the City.
