The Housing Authority partners with private property owners to provide rental units to Houston families in need of quality, affordable housing. Property owners help the Housing Authority servethousands of Houston families through the Housing Choice Voucher Program. In addition to the satisfaction of making a difference in the community, benefits of participating in the HousingChoice Voucher Program include:
Free Yearly Inspections The agency inspects the dwelling unit prior to the date a family moves in and will inspect the unit annually thereafter. We perform emergency or complaint inspections if requested by either the tenant or the property owner/manager.
Free Marketing Owners can publicize available units by visiting GoSection8.
Market Rents The Housing Authority will pay what your rental unit is worth in comparison to other similar properties in the neighborhood. The agency conducts a Rent Reasonableness Survey at the time of the initial/annual inspection. We look for similar units with respect to location, quality, size, type, age, amenities, housing services, maintenance and utilities.
