About Somerset Lofts

Somerset Lofts is a Section 811 Supportive Housing for Persons with Disabilities property at 8506 Hempstead Rd, Houston 77008. It has 110 apartments, 10 of which are subsidized (8 one-bedroom, 2 two-bedroom).

Who can apply

This program serves very low-income adults with a disability 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 281-769-8415 (managed by Alpha-Barnes Real Estate Services 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)
