About DePere Housing Authority

The authority administers both Public Housing and Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) programs. Currently, the waitlist for Public Housing is open to new applications. The HCV program, however, is closed to new applicants. Prospective applicants should note that program availability, including for the HCV program, can change over time.
