Washington County Community Development Agency

Washington County Community Development Agency (WCCDA) operates as a local government entity based in Washington County, United States of America. The agency focuses on community development initiatives, particularly those related to housing assistance and neighborhood improvement. Its services include administering Section 8 housing programs that provide rental support to low‑income residents. WCCDA also employs staff who manage program delivery and interact with beneficiaries. The agency’s primary market consists of residents within Washington County who qualify for federal and state housing aid.

As a county‑level community development organization, WCCDA holds a specialized role in delivering affordable housing solutions and coordinating development projects that align with municipal planning goals. The agency handles sensitive personal information, such as names, Social Security numbers and driver’s license numbers, as part of its eligibility verification processes. In June 2016, a server compromise exposed this data for some Section 8 housing residents and employees, prompting the agency to offer affected individuals one year of free credit monitoring and identity theft protection. This incident underscores WCCDA’s responsibility for safeguarding resident data while carrying out its public‑service mandate. The agency’s positioning within the public sector emphasizes accountability to both governmental oversight bodies and the community it serves.
