What is the WHA?

The Whistler Housing Authority (WHA), formed in October 1997, was created to oversee the development of resident restricted housing in Whistler through the use of the Employee Housing Fund. We are a wholly owned subsidiary of the Resort Municipality of Whistler (RMOW). We perform the combined functions of two other agencies: the Whistler Housing Authority Ltd, a municipal corporation that is legally responsible for resident restricted housing developments, and the Whistler Valley Housing Society (WVHS), a volunteer, non-profit society formed under the Societies Act as a legal entity qualified for acquiring CMHC financing.
