Section 8 Housing in Texas: Complete Guide

Texas is the second-largest state in the nation — and its housing affordability crisis matches its scale. Austin has transformed from one of America’s most affordable college towns into one of its most expensive cities, driven by a decade of tech industry explosion and population growth that outpaced housing construction at every turn. Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, and San Antonio have each seen rents surge well beyond what working-class Texas families can absorb, even as these metros continue to attract hundreds of thousands of new residents annually.

The Rio Grande Valley — one of the most economically distressed regions in the United States — faces a housing crisis defined by poverty wages, colonia communities without basic infrastructure, and a border economy that produces insufficient income for even the most modest rental housing. El Paso’s border economy, the Permian Basin’s oil-boom-and-bust cycle, and the colonias scattered across South Texas present housing challenges that are structural, persistent, and largely invisible to national policy conversations. For low-income families, seniors, individuals with disabilities, farmworkers, border communities, and the millions of working Texans priced out of the private market, Section 8 housing vouchers in Texas provide critical monthly rent relief.

This complete guide covers everything you need to know about Section 8 housing in Texas — including who qualifies, Texas-specific income limits by region, Fair Market Rents, a full directory of Texas Public Housing Authorities, a step-by-step application guide, and answers to the most frequently asked questions.

What Is Section 8 Housing in Texas?

Section 8 — officially called the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Program — is a federally funded rental assistance program administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

In Texas, the program is managed by local Public Housing Authorities (PHAs) across the state’s 254 counties, as well as through the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA), which provides statewide affordable housing financing, LIHTC coordination, and administers HCV directly for rural Texas counties not fully served by local PHAs.

The program pays a portion of your monthly rent directly to your landlord. You contribute approximately 30% of your adjusted monthly income toward rent, and your Texas PHA or TDHCA covers the remainder — up to the local payment standard — each month.

You are free to choose any privately owned rental unit in Texas where the landlord agrees to participate and the unit meets HUD’s Housing Quality Standards.

Texas Context: Texas has over 70 PHAs — one of the largest state PHA networks in the country. The Houston Housing Authority (HHA), Dallas Housing Authority (DHA), San Antonio Housing Authority (SAHA), and Housing Authority of the City of Austin (HACA) are the state’s four largest programs. Each major metro also has separate suburban and county PHAs with their own waitlists. TDHCA at (512) 475-3800 — tdhca.state.tx.us — plays a critical role administering HCV for rural Texas and coordinating statewide programs.

Texas’s 254-county structure and size mean that applying to multiple PHAs simultaneously — including both city and county agencies in major metros — is essential strategy.

Texas Source-of-Income Law: What Voucher Holders Need to Know

Texas does not have a statewide source-of-income (SOI) protection law. Texas landlords are legally permitted under state law to refuse Section 8 vouchers — and landlord refusal is a significant and documented challenge in Austin’s, Dallas’s, and Houston’s competitive rental markets, particularly in high-opportunity neighborhoods.

Texas also has no major city-level SOI ordinances currently in effect — Austin considered such an ordinance but it has not been enacted at the time of this writing. This makes finding a participating landlord one of the most critical practical challenges for Texas voucher holders.

Practical Advice: In Texas’s no-SOI environment, your PHA’s internal participating landlord list and the Mobility Works or housing mobility program at your local PHA are your most important starting resources. Request both immediately at your briefing. The Texas Housers nonprofit at (713) 869-5152 — texashousers.net — is the state’s leading housing policy and advocacy organization and can provide referrals and support for voucher holders navigating the market. In smaller Texas cities and rural communities, voluntary landlord participation is generally higher than in Austin or Dallas.

Who Qualifies for Section 8 Housing Vouchers in Texas?

To be eligible for Section 8 housing in Texas, you must meet all of the following requirements:

1. Income Limits

Your household’s total gross annual income must fall below HUD’s income limits for your area in Texas. These vary dramatically by county — Austin’s suburbs, the Midland-Odessa Permian Basin, and Dallas’s wealthy northern suburbs have the state’s highest AMIs, while the Rio Grande Valley counties (Hidalgo, Starr, Zapata) have the lowest income limits of any metro area in the continental United States.

Below are the approximate [Current_year] income limits for a family of four in major Texas areas:

Note: Collin County (Plano/Frisco/McKinney) has the highest income limits in Texas — a family of four qualifies at the Very Low Income level with income up to $84,200, reflecting the extraordinary concentration of corporate headquarters, tech campuses, and high-income households in Dallas’s northern suburbs. Austin metro (Travis, Williamson, Hays counties) share limits of $68,850 Very Low — among the highest of any inland Texas metro.

The Rio Grande Valley — Hidalgo, Cameron, Starr, Zapata, and Webb counties — has the lowest income limits in Texas and among the lowest in the continental United States, reflecting decades of structural poverty in the border economy. These figures are approximate and updated annually. Always verify at huduser.gov or with your local Texas PHA or TDHCA at (512) 475-3800.

2. Citizenship or Eligible Immigration Status

At least one household member must be a U.S. citizen or eligible non-citizen. Mixed-status households qualify for prorated assistance.

Texas has the second-largest Latino population of any state — with enormous Mexican American communities in San Antonio, El Paso, the Rio Grande Valley, Houston, and Dallas, as well as large Central American immigrant communities in Houston and Dallas. Texas also has significant Vietnamese communities in Houston (one of the largest in the US outside California), large Nigerian and West African communities in Houston, and growing Congolese, Burmese, and Afghan refugee communities in Dallas-Fort Worth.

3. Family Composition

Section 8 is open to single individuals, couples, families with children, elderly persons (age 62+), and persons with disabilities. Household size determines the voucher bedroom size issued.

4. Criminal Background

Federal mandatory bars apply: lifetime sex offender registration and methamphetamine manufacturing in federally assisted housing. Individual Texas PHAs set their own additional screening criteria — contact your specific PHA for their policy. DHA Dallas, HHA Houston, SAHA San Antonio, and HACA Austin each have distinct criminal history screening policies.

5. No Outstanding PHA Debt

Any unpaid debt owed to any PHA — in Texas or another state — must be resolved before approval.

Pro Tip: Collin County (Plano/Frisco/McKinney) has income limits of $84,200 Very Low for a family of four — nearly $23,000 higher than Dallas County’s $61,250. The Collin County Housing Authority administers HCV separately from DHA Dallas. Fort Bend County (Sugar Land/Missouri City) has $71,850 Very Low — $17,000 above Harris County (Houston). Apply to both the city PHA and the relevant suburban county housing authority simultaneously — these are separate agencies with different income thresholds and often different waitlist availability.

How Much Rent Assistance Will You Receive in Texas?

Your Section 8 subsidy in Texas is based on your adjusted monthly income, HUD’s Fair Market Rents for your area, and your PHA’s payment standard.

You pay 30% of adjusted income; the PHA covers the rest up to the payment standard.

Here are the approximate [Current_year] Fair Market Rents for major Texas markets:

Note: Austin FMRs rank among the highest of any inland Southern city — a dramatic shift from a decade ago. Collin County FMRs exceed Dallas County FMRs, reflecting the corporate campus and suburban luxury rental market of Frisco and McKinney. Midland FMRs are elevated by Permian Basin oil industry wages. Rio Grande Valley FMRs remain the lowest of any major Texas metro. Payment standards set by each Texas PHA typically range between 90%–110% of FMR. Confirm current payment standards directly with your local PHA or TDHCA.

Texas Public Housing Authorities (PHAs): Complete Directory

Texas has 254 counties and over 70 PHAs. Below is a comprehensive directory organized by region.

Statewide Resource

Austin Metro PHAs

Contact TDHCA at (512) 475-3800 for rural county referrals and statewide program information.

Step 2: Check for Open Waitlists

Texas PHAs vary dramatically in waitlist availability. To stay current:

• Check DHA, HHA, SAHA, HACA, and HACEP websites directly for waitlist announcements
• Visit tdhca.state.tx.us for TDHCA statewide program updates
• Call each Texas PHA directly — many suburban PHAs manage waitlists primarily by phone
• Monitor affordablehousingonline.com for Texas waitlist openings
• Contact Lone Star Legal Aid at (713) 652-0077, Legal Aid of NorthWest Texas at (817) 336-3943, or Texas RioGrande Legal Aid at (956) 996-8752 for housing program guidance

Step 3: Apply Immediately When a Waitlist Opens

DHA, HHA, SAHA, and HACA waitlist openings draw enormous numbers of applicants and fill within days. Act immediately when an opening is announced:

• DHA, HHA, SAHA, HACA, and most major Texas PHAs offer online pre-applications when waitlists open
• Have all household member information ready: full names, dates of birth, SSNs, income details
• Apply to every open Texas city, county, and suburban PHA simultaneously
• Consider applying to smaller Texas city PHAs — Waco, Abilene, Tyler, Longview — which may have shorter waits and allow portability later

Step 4: Maintain Your Waitlist Position

HACA (Austin) waits typically run 7 to 12+ years — among the longest in the South, driven by Austin’s extraordinary rent surge. DHA (Dallas) runs approximately 5 to 8 years. HHA (Houston) runs approximately 4 to 7 years. SAHA (San Antonio) runs approximately 4 to 7 years. Fort Worth Housing Solutions runs approximately 3 to 6 years.

Suburban PHAs — Collin County, Williamson County, Fort Bend County — vary widely. Smaller Texas city PHAs — Waco, Abilene, Tyler, Amarillo — often run 1 to 3 years when open. While waiting:

• Update your contact information with every PHA every time you move or change your phone number
• Respond promptly to all annual confirmation notices
• Document any priority preference eligibility:

• Currently homeless or residing in emergency shelter
• Victim of domestic violence, dating violence, or stalking (VAWA protections apply)
• Veteran or active-duty service member
• Person with a disability requiring accessible or supportive housing
• Displaced by hurricane, flooding, winter storm, or other disaster

Step 5: Complete the Full Application

When your name is reached, gather these documents without delay:

• Photo ID — driver’s license, state ID, or passport for all adult household members
• Birth certificates — for all household members
• Social Security cards — for all household members
• Proof of income — recent pay stubs, Social Security or disability award letters, Texas TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families / TANF Cash Assistance) award letters, or most recent federal tax return
• Bank statements — last 2–3 months for all accounts
• Rental history — landlord names, addresses, and contact info for the past 2–3 years
• Benefit letters — SNAP, Texas Medicaid (Medicaid / CHIP), TANF Cash Assistance, or other Texas benefit award letters

Step 6: Attend the Eligibility Interview

A Texas PHA specialist will review your application, verify documents, and conduct an eligibility interview. If you believe your application was improperly handled, contact the appropriate regional legal aid office or the Texas Workforce Commission Civil Rights Division at (888) 452-4778 for free housing discrimination guidance.

Step 7: Receive Your Voucher and Search for Housing

If approved, you receive your Texas Section 8 voucher and typically have 60 to 120 days to find eligible housing. Texas has no statewide SOI law — work closely with your PHA specialist, request the internal landlord list at your briefing, and use GoSection8.com and HUD’s housing locator. Request an extension proactively in Austin’s or Dallas’s extremely tight markets.

Texas Section 8 Housing: Frequently Asked Questions

How long is the Section 8 waitlist in Texas?

HACA (Austin) waits typically run 7 to 12+ years — among the longest in the South. DHA (Dallas) runs approximately 5 to 8 years. HHA (Houston) runs approximately 4 to 7 years. SAHA (San Antonio) runs approximately 4 to 7 years.

Smaller Texas PHAs — Waco, Abilene, Tyler, Amarillo, Longview — often run 1 to 3 years when open. Applying to every Texas PHA in your region simultaneously, including suburban county PHAs with higher income limits, is the single most effective strategy.

Can a Texas landlord refuse Section 8?

Yes — Texas has no statewide SOI protection law and no major city-level SOI ordinances. Texas landlords may legally decline to participate in Section 8.

Work closely with your PHA specialist, request the internal landlord list immediately, and use GoSection8.com. Texas Housers at (713) 869-5152 — texashousers.net — provides housing mobility support and advocacy for Texas voucher holders navigating tight markets. Race, disability, familial status, religion, sex, national origin, and color discrimination remain illegal — contact the Texas Workforce Commission Civil Rights Division at (888) 452-4778 for fair housing complaints.

Are there housing resources for Texas’s Rio Grande Valley colonia communities?

Yes. The colonias of South Texas — unincorporated border communities that often lack basic water, sewer, and road infrastructure — represent one of the most profound housing crises in the United States. An estimated 500,000 to 800,000 Texans live in colonias, primarily in Hidalgo, Cameron, Webb, Starr, Zapata, and El Paso counties.

TDHCA’s Colonia Self-Help Centers at (512) 475-3800 provide housing repair, infrastructure, and homeownership assistance specifically designed for colonia residents. Texas RioGrande Legal Aid at (956) 996-8752 — trla.org — is the primary free legal services organization for the Rio Grande Valley and provides housing legal assistance for colonia and border communities. Proyecto Dilema and La Unión del Pueblo Entero (LUPE) at (956) 787-2233 provide community organizing and housing advocacy in the Valley. USDA Rural Development at (254) 742-9700 administers rural housing repair programs for colonia-adjacent communities. HUD’s Colonia Initiative coordinates federal programs specifically for Texas border communities.

Are there housing resources for Hurricane Harvey, Hurricane Beryl, and Texas disaster survivors?

Yes. Texas is among the most disaster-prone states in the country — Hurricane Harvey (2017) caused the largest residential rainfall event in US history and displaced hundreds of thousands of Houston-area households. Hurricane Beryl (2024) struck the Houston metro with devastating impact. Winter Storm Uri (February 2021) caused catastrophic infrastructure failure across the entire state, displacing millions temporarily and causing lasting damage to hundreds of thousands of homes.

Disaster-displaced residents should report their status to their local PHA as a priority preference. TDHCA at (512) 475-3800 coordinates CDBG-DR disaster recovery housing programs — the state has administered billions in CDBG-DR funds for Harvey, Beryl, and Uri recovery. The Texas General Land Office (GLO) at (800) 998-4456 — glo.texas.gov — administers the state’s CDBG-DR programs and is the primary portal for disaster housing recovery assistance. FEMA Transitional Sheltering Assistance (TSA) is available following major federal disaster declarations — register at disasterassistance.gov. Dial 211 for current disaster housing referrals in your county.

Are there housing resources for Texas’s large Vietnamese community in Houston?

Yes. Houston’s Vietnamese community — centered in the Midtown, Alief, and southwest Houston corridors — is one of the largest in the United States, with roots going back to the post-1975 refugee resettlement that brought tens of thousands of Vietnamese families to the Gulf Coast. Houston also has significant Nigerian, West African, Congolese, Afghan, Burmese, and other immigrant and refugee communities that drive one of the most diverse cities in the country.

Key resources include Boat People SOS Houston at (713) 541-4148 for Vietnamese community housing navigation; Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston at (713) 526-4611 for refugee resettlement and housing assistance; Interfaith Ministries for Greater Houston at (713) 533-4900 for refugee housing programs; BakerRipley at (713) 273-3400 — bakerripley.org — for Houston-area community housing and social services across diverse immigrant and low-income communities; and Neighborhood Recovery Community Development Corporation for post-Harvey and post-Beryl housing recovery in Houston’s most impacted neighborhoods.

Are there housing resources for Texas’s military communities?

Yes. Texas has one of the largest military presences of any state — Fort Cavazos (formerly Fort Hood, Killeen), Joint Base San Antonio (Lackland/Randolph/Fort Sam Houston), Fort Bliss (El Paso), Naval Air Station Corpus Christi, and Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base Fort Worth are all major active installations. San Antonio, Killeen, El Paso, and Corpus Christi have especially high concentrations of active-duty military, veterans, and military families.

The Killeen Housing Authority at (254) 526-2371 administers HCV for the Fort Cavazos community. HUD-VASH is administered through the South Texas Veterans Health Care System (San Antonio) at (210) 617-5300, the Houston VA Medical Center at (713) 791-1414, the Dallas VA Medical Center at (214) 742-8387, the El Paso VA Health Care System at (915) 564-6100, and CBOCs in Austin, Killeen, Waco, Lubbock, Amarillo, and other Texas cities.

Are there housing resources for Dallas’s large homeless population?

Yes. Dallas has one of the largest unsheltered homeless populations of any city in the South — concentrated around the Bachman Lake area, South Dallas, and along the Trinity River corridor. Dallas also has a significant chronic homelessness challenge driven by mental health and substance use disorders.

Key resources include OurCalling at (214) 536-3644 — ourcalling.org — which provides rapid rehousing and supportive services for Dallas’s homeless population; Metro Dallas Homeless Alliance (MDHA) at (214) 637-7705 — mdhadallas.org — which coordinates the Dallas Continuum of Care and operates the coordinated entry system for Dallas homeless services; The Bridge Homeless Recovery Center at (214) 670-1185 for emergency shelter and resource navigation; and CitySquare at (214) 823-8710 for rapid rehousing and housing stability programs across Dallas.

Can I use my Texas Section 8 voucher in another state?

Yes. After living in your initial Texas Section 8-assisted unit for at least 12 months, you can port your voucher to another state. El Paso voucher holders may port to Las Cruces, New Mexico. Texarkana-area voucher holders may port to Arkansas. Contact your Texas PHA to initiate portability and contact the receiving state’s PHA well in advance to confirm acceptance.

What other programs help with housing in Texas besides Section 8?

Texas has several additional programs including TDHCA’s LIHTC affordable housing portfolio, the Texas Emergency Rental Assistance Program (TERAP), and emergency rental assistance through local Community Action Agencies statewide. Texas’s TANF Cash Assistance program can provide emergency housing assistance through Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) offices. Texas Medicaid/CHIP documents income eligibility for housing applications. The Texas Council on Family Violence (TCFV) at (512) 794-1133 coordinates emergency housing for DV survivors statewide.

Final Thoughts: Getting Section 8 Housing in Texas

Securing a Section 8 housing voucher in Texas requires persistence, strategic multi-agency applications across the state’s enormous and complex PHA network, and a realistic understanding that Austin’s and Dallas’s waitlists are among the longest in the South. Texas’s no-SOI environment and the sheer size of the state make proactive landlord searching and multi-agency applications the most effective approach.

Texas’s remarkable diversity — from Houston’s global immigrant communities to the Rio Grande Valley’s colonia families, from Fort Cavazos military households to Austin’s displaced longtime residents — means that every region has specific programs and resources tailored to local needs. Use them all.

Here are the most important actions to take right now:

1. Dallas-Fort Worth residents: apply to every DFW PHA simultaneously — DHA, Collin County, Denton, Fort Worth Housing Solutions, Arlington, Garland, Irving, Grand Prairie, and Mesquite are all separate agencies; Collin County’s $84,200 Very Low income limit may qualify households above Dallas County’s threshold
2. Houston residents: apply to HHA, Harris County Housing Authority, and Fort Bend County Housing Authority simultaneously — Fort Bend’s $71,850 Very Low is $17,000 above Harris County’s limit
3. Austin residents: apply to HACA, Williamson County, and Hays County housing authorities simultaneously — HACA waits run 7–12+ years; suburban county PHAs may have different availability
4. Rio Grande Valley and colonia residents: contact TDHCA at (512) 475-3800 and Texas RioGrande Legal Aid at (956) 996-8752 — TDHCA’s Colonia Self-Help Centers and TRLA provide specialized housing assistance for border and colonia communities not available elsewhere
5. Harvey, Beryl, or Winter Storm Uri survivors: contact the Texas GLO at (800) 998-4456 and TDHCA at (512) 475-3800 immediately — CDBG-DR disaster recovery programs remain active; disaster priority preferences may accelerate your waitlist position
6. Dial 211 for immediate help with housing, emergency rental assistance, and other urgent needs while you wait
