About This Program in Houston
In Houston, the Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) program and public housing are administered by the Houston Housing Authority (HHA). Rent is income-based — generally about 30% of adjusted household income — whether in an HHA development or with a voucher used in private housing.
How to Apply in Houston
Apply through HHA at housingforhouston.com when waitlists are open. Texas has no source-of-income protection and state law bars cities from requiring landlords to accept Housing Choice Vouchers, so you may need to find properties that choose to accept them. Call HHA at (713) 260-0500 for current waitlist status.
