U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development

Public Housing Assistance, Section 8 Voucher Assistance, and more

Thank you for contacting my office regarding your request for assistance with a federal housing concern under the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

If you need assistance finding and applying for affordable housing, please visit the Houston Housing and Community Development Department

If you are seeking information about rental relief or require help with other state programs, visit the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA) website or call 512-475-3800.  If you are experiencing issues with state programs, your Texas state legislators may also be able to assist. 

If you are having issues with federal housing programs, are an individual public housing applicant, a Section 8 voucher holder, or a landlord who participates in these federal programs with management and rental issues and needs assistance, my office can help.  Public housing provides rental assistance subsidized by HUD for eligible tenants residing at housing developments that are primarily HUD-financed and owned by the Housing Authority, while project-based Section 8 housing provides HUD-subsidized rental assistance for privately owned and managed buildings.
