No, you can only apply for the County you wish to live in. 

Tenant or someone 18 years of age or older must be present for any Re-certification Inspection.

You will  need to speak with your housing representative in the county which you receive assistance. That county rep will need to fax documentation to the appropriate county (where you wish to move) rep. Once we receive the documentation, we will meet with you to get the transfer completed. This would be a port voucher.

If you wish to move counties within our jurisdiction – Davie to Yadkin,  You would need to speak with your current county representative.

Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program:

•             Valid Photo ID
•             Date of birth and social security number for all household members
•             Household income information

These documents are NOT required to fill out an application, but you will need to know the social security number for each household member listed on the application. You will need to provide copies of these documents when you reach the top of the list.

As many as 160,000 households in Alamance, Caswell, Davidson, Forsyth, Guilford, Person, Randolph, and Rockingham Counties are eligible for weatherization services.  If you receive Supplemental Security Income or Aid to Families with Dependent Children, you are automatically eligible to receive weatherization services.  In other cases, preference is given to:

• People over 60 years of age
• Families with one or more members with a disability
• Families with children 

 One of the primary factors affecting eligibility is income.  2022 (200%) Poverty Income Guidelines are shown below. 

If you believe you may be eligible or are interested in finding out more about the program, please fill out this quick interest form and one of our Intake Specialists will contact you to answer your questions and determine if you are eligible.  You can also call our office at (336) 904-0338 any time between 8 am and 4:30 pm on Mondays through Fridays, or email us at wap@ptrc.org to find out more.  The entire application process usually takes less than 20 minutes to complete.

There is no cost to the homeowner. However, if you are currently renting, you are required to request $275 from the landlord to go towards the cost of weatherizing the dwelling. 

If you are eligible, the PTRC will put you on a waiting list for services.  The time on the waiting list can vary depending on the time of the year and the number of other households that have applied.  The average wait time varies between 6 and 12 months.  However, people most in need are often moved to the top of the waiting list. 

The first step in the process is a professional energy consultation.  This "energy audit' is an assessment of your home's energy use and an analysis of which energy conservation measures are best for your home.  Such measures may include additional insulation, weather-stripping, caulking, servicing of the heating or air conditioning unit, hot water conservation measures or more.  Work does not include new roofing or siding. 

Once our workers arrive to weatherize your residence, work is typically completed within a day or two.  During the work stage, PTRC inspectors will return to make certain that everything is working properly and that nothing was missed.
