Who can apply

This program serves low-income families and individuals who meet HUD income limits for the Texas area (generally at or below 50% of area median income; many buildings prioritize 30%).

How to apply

1. Call the building at 713-451-0584 (managed by Fairstead Communities LLC) 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 Houston Housing Authority (HHA) 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

No source-of-income protection; Texas Local Government Code 250.007 bars cities from requiring landlords to accept Housing Choice Vouchers (military/veteran income excepted)
