Housing and Neighborhood Services Mission

The Department of Housing and Neighborhood Services was established in FY24 to oversee activities and functions focused on creating diverse, equitable, and vibrant neighborhoods through community development and housing services, code enforcement, and community engagement, education, and safety.

Code Enforcement

Code Enforcement enforces city ordinances that provide a safe community and vibrant neighborhoods. Code Enforcement Officers promote a healthy and safe environment for citizens and visitors.

Housing Division

Offers home repairs and improves safety of homes that have hazards and deterioration. Works with local banks to help working families purchase their first home. Provides quality rental choices for families, elderly residents, and for people with disabilities. Preserves and revitalizes neighborhoods.

Healthy Homes Programs

The City of Wilmington Healthy Homes Program offers grant assistance to low-income homeowners and renters to help remediate home health risks identified through the Eight Principles of a Healthy Home Inspection.
By targeting these hazards, the program helps create a clean, safe, and comfortable living space where families can thrive, free from home health risks.

Community Development

Works with non-profit and other affordable housing developers to provide a variety of affordable housing opportunities throughout the city. Also Community Development supports the efforts of community based non-profits and other organizations to serve low-to-moderate income at-risk youth, elderly, homeless, victims of domestic violence, child abuse, and the disabled.
