Dear Residents,
The WHA is taking COVID-19 very seriously and has taken swift action to minimize the risk to our residents, staff and visitors. An internal task force has been established and is meeting daily to review updates and respond accordingly. We remain in close contact with local officials and community partners.
The WHA would like to take a moment to share several operational changes and safety measures being implemented effective immediately. These changes will be in effect until at least May 4,2020 at which point the WHA will reassess and reevaluate to determine next steps.
The Wellesley Housing Authority administration office will be working remotely starting Tuesday 3/24/2020 at 12:00 PM. We will be checking our voicemails every hour and retuning phone calls to residents. We will also be checking our email regularly and responding to residents.
