In order to "port" from one Housing Authority to another, you need to:
This may take as long as 4-6 weeks.

Step 1: Contact your local Housing Authority to start the port to Wake County Housing Authority (WCHA).

Step 2: Contact the Portability Specialist, Alicia Jackson from WCHA.
Phone: 919-269-6404 ext. 215
Email: ajackson@hacwnc.org
Mailing Address: P.O. Box 399, Zebulon, NC 27597

Step 3
: WCHA does a Review and You will be contacted to confirm your info in 3-5 days.

Step 4
: After 10-14 days, once all your paperwork is complete (on their end), you will be invited to a virtual Briefing. You will then receive a moving packet (I can pick it up instead of waiting on mail).

Step 5
: Find housing (see options below), give new landlord your moving packet to complete paperwork. Landlord (or we) will deliver the packet to WCHA. 

Step 6
: Once packet is submitted it is another 7-10 days until its processed and moved to Inspection. If the unit passes inspection, they will finalize your portion of the rent and send the contract to the landlord.

Note: Do not move into new unit until inspection passes!

Otherwise
Inform your current Landlord with the appropriate heads up.

And: Prepare for the Move (throw away, clean, fix, etc.).
