Welcome to DAWHAC
DAWHAC’s Mission:
The mission of DAWHAC is to sustain quality of life by identifying and encouraging the removal of barriers to attainable housing for the workforce of Washington County, Utah.
What is DAWHAC?
The Dixie Area Workforce Housing Affordability Committee, also known as (DAWHAC), was created in October of 2005. The committee was organized to find solutions to the crisis of providing housing that is attainable to the workforce of the community.
The committee consists of local elected officials from the six largest cities in Washington County and is chaired by a county commissioner. DAWHAC meetings are advertised and open to the public. An Ombudsman is in place to assist local communities in efforts to accommodate workforce housing options and to aid individuals and families in their quest for workforce housing alternatives.
DAWHAC has defined workforce housing as those who make 60-110% of the Area Median Income. The price range for housing should be between $175,000 and $220,000 and should be around 1,100 to 1,600 square feet in size.
