Voucher-Friendly Buildings in Texas
About This Program in Texas
In Dallas, the Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) program and public housing are administered by the Dallas Housing Authority (DHA). Rent is income-based — generally about 30% of adjusted household income — whether in a DHA community or with a voucher used in private housing.
How to Apply in Texas
Apply through DHA at dhantx.com when waitlists are open. Important: Texas has no source-of-income protection and a 2015 state law (Local Government Code § 250.007) bars cities from requiring landlords to accept vouchers, so a private landlord may legally decline yours. Federal Fair Housing protections still apply. Call DHA at (214) 951-8800.
