Housing Choice Voucher Program
Harris County Housing Authority
Tenant-based rental assistance that helps eligible low-income households rent qualifying private-market housing in Harris County.
How to get help
Monitor the official HCHA waiting-list page for a future opening. The general waiting list is not currently accepting new registrations; HCHA states that people who did not register during the 2016 opening are not eligible unless they qualify for one of its local preferences.
Who this service helps
Applicants must meet the authority's Housing Choice Voucher requirements, including an applicable local preference or active waiting-list status, HUD income limits, and background-screening requirements.
Where this service is available
Service area: Areas outside the City of Houston but within Harris County, according to the authority's published jurisdiction and service-area map.

HCHA pays a calculated portion of rent directly to the owner or manager; the participating household is responsible for its required share.
About this service
The authority uses federal Housing Choice Voucher funds to pay part of an eligible household's monthly rent directly to the property owner or manager while the participating family selects a qualifying house or apartment within the program jurisdiction.
