West Georgia Consortium Housing Authority

Since 1953, the West Georgia Consortium Housing Authority (WGCHA) has provided housing assistance for low-income individuals, families, the elderly, and persons with disabilities. WGCHGA offers housing opportunities to serve residents of the Cities of Arlington, Cuthbert, Edison, Fort Gaines, and Shellman in Georgia. WGCHA is committed to providing valuable resident opportunities, including GED scholarships, Bingo games, and CPR classes.

Five Board of Commissioners govern WGCHA, each including multiple members. WGCHA administers and manages 256 Public Housing units and 18 Section 202 properties in the community. The housing programs at WGCHA are income-based, and the eligibility guidelines are set by the United States Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD). WGCHA does not participate in the Housing Choice Voucher / Section 8 Program, and we are not equipped to accommodate Emergency Housing.
