Gwinnett County may need to provide the information you share with our non-profit partners to facilitate proper tracking of the use of funds. If you fail to provide any required information or documentation, your application may not be processed. All information is confidential and will not be shared with outside organizations.
Households will need the following types of documents and items (i.e., copies, pictures, screenshots, etc.) along with their signed, fully completed application.

The number of household members should include individuals who reside full-time, with no other place of residence. Full-time students do not need to submit income.

The assistance provided is based on the needs of the homeowner and is not limited by a specific amount per homeowner. However, replacement appliance costs are set and will not be changed.

Unfortunately, the WRAP program is only open to Gwinnett County residents. Please contact Habitat for Humanity for other programs that may be available to you.
Applicants that believe they were denied access to the Water Resources Assistance Program because of application barriers, or because they were determined to be ineligible during the application and verification process, may appeal by submitting a formal request to WRAP@GwinnettCounty.com.
