Safe & Affordable
Having access to safe and affordable housing is a vital part of
strengthening families to create better neighborhoods.
When parents, guardians and caregivers are able to provide stable living environments for their families, it allows them to focus on other things like growing their income, furthering their education or taking time out to care for themselves.
Affordable Housing can also be an alternative to survivors of domestic violence remaining in abusive homes. By decreasing the burdens of housing instability, families are able to move forward and create new
memories.
Equal
Dunn Housing Authority is dedicated to providing equal housing opportunities without discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, familial status or disability. If you feel your fair housing rights may have been violated, you may file a complaint by calling 1-800-669-9777.
Maintenance
The Dunn Housing Authority maintenance staff responds to resident requests for repairs between the hours of 8:00 am and 4:30 pm, Monday through Friday. If the work order repair is due to normal wear and tear the resident will not be charged. If the resident, guest, member of the household or visitor is responsible for the damage or other problem a charge will be posted to the rental account of the lease holder. All calls for work order repairs are done by priority and responded to in the order of urgency. Residents should call 910-892-5076 to request a work order. Repairs are not allowed unless a request has been made at the Administrative Office. Emergency calls are answered 24 hours a day, 7 days per week. For emergency or after-hours maintenance requests, you may call 910-890-7524. Please call ONLY in case of an Emergency, otherwise you may be billed for the call. Emergency calls are considered repairs that cannot wait until the next working day. It is very important to provide your name, address, a call back number and the nature of the problem. If the emergency is life threatening, immediately call 911.
We are taking proactive measures to protect our communities. By Installing Tsunami surveillance cameras, increasing police presence on the properties and providing space for the Community Police Sub-stations, Dunn Housing Authority supports the efforts of the City of Dunn Police Department to continue partnering with us and the families we serve to maintain safer neighborhoods to live, work and play.
