One of the greatest benefits of being a WCAHA member is that you are also a member of our state organization PROA. PROA’s website gives you access to their newsletters, criminal history checks, information on legal issues and more.
The newest edition to the site is the ability for members to advertise available rental units. WCAHA members can advertise on PROA’s website FREE. (Advertising to direct potential tenants to the site will be provided by WCAHA funded by membership dues and sponsor donations.)
In order to access members-only items, you must first contact the WCAHA office for a PROA ID. (by phone: 610-696-1140 or by email: wcahaman@aol.com)
