Who can apply

How to apply

1. Call the building at 214/638-4177 (managed by Marquis Asset Management, Inc.) and ask whether the waiting list is open and how to get an application.
2. Most buildings keep their own waiting list — this is separate from the Dallas Housing Authority (DHA, Housing Solutions for North Texas) Section 8 voucher list.
3. Submit proof of income, ID for every household member, and Social Security numbers where available.
4. When your name comes up, the management office verifies eligibility and offers a unit.

Your rights

Texas has no statewide source-of-income protection, and Texas Local Government Code § 250.007 (2015) prohibits Texas cities from adopting ordinances that require landlords to accept Housing Choice Vouchers. Private landlord participation in the voucher program is voluntary
