City of Austin / Travis County
We help renters find LIHTC, Section 8, and voucher friendly communities anywhere in the Austin metro. We're licensed by TREC, and our team has 25+ combined years in Texas real estate.
Area median income (AMI) in the Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos metro runs higher than in most of Texas. A household over San Antonio's 60% limit can still be under Austin's. The city runs its own SMART Housing program too. It's separate from LIHTC, but some buildings use both. And each property still sets its own screening rules.
Travis County has older LIHTC properties along I-35 and newer buildings near the Domain and in Mueller. Garden style complexes along North Lamar and midrise buildings near Riverside Drive can charge different rents even at the same income level. The Austin Housing Authority (formerly HACA) and HATC keep their own waitlists, separate from private LIHTC communities. Knowing which authority runs a property changes how you apply.
Demand keeps climbing as Round Rock, Pflugerville, Cedar Park, and Del Valle grow. We help you look at communities across the metro, including Wells Branch, Manor, and Kyle. The City of Austin's AHOST search tool only lists income restricted rentals inside Austin, so we track TDHCA properties in the suburbs too.

City of San Antonio / Bexar County
Anywhere around San Antonio, we help you find LIHTC, Section 8 and voucher friendly communities at no cost to you.
San Antonio's income restricted housing is split between Opportunity Home communities (the local housing authority, formerly SAHA) and privately owned LIHTC properties across Bexar County. Income limits here run well below Austin's, and so do rent caps. A household that's under Austin's limit can still be over San Antonio's, so we check your numbers against the San Antonio table first.
Some communities along Loop 410 and I-35 work with Housing Choice Vouchers, but that changes from one property to the next. Opportunity Home runs public housing and mixed income communities in many parts of the city, from the west side up to the far north. Privately owned LIHTC communities serve renters near the Medical Center, UTSA, and along US-281.
The San Antonio metro area reaches into Comal County (New Braunfels) and Guadalupe County (Schertz). We cover Converse, Universal City, Leon Valley, Alamo Heights, Selma, Live Oak, and Helotes. That's the whole metro, not just the city limits. You’ll find older LIHTC communities and newer buildings in most parts of the metro.

City of Houston / Harris County
Harris County is a lot of ground to cover on your own. We connect Houston renters to LIHTC, Section 8, and voucher friendly communities across the county.
A Houston search can reach well past the city limits. And a long property list still won’t tell you bedroom sizes, screening rules or how to apply. Confirm those details with management before you hand over a fee.
Housing Alliance HTX (formerly the Houston Housing Authority) runs public housing communities across the city, from Third Ward and Fifth Ward to the north side. LIHTC properties range from midrise buildings near the Texas Medical Center and Midtown to garden style complexes in Katy, Cypress, and Sugar Land. Spring Branch and Sharpstown inside the Beltway, plus Alief on the far southwest side, have more LIHTC options. We can point you to senior communities for ages 55+ and 62+ as well.
Whether a property takes vouchers varies a lot across the metro. We look for communities that say they take voucher applications. Then we help with the Request for Tenancy Approval, the form your housing agency uses to sign off on a unit. A voucher doesn’t replace the property’s screening or the agency’s OK on the unit. Ask about both up front.

City of Dallas / Dallas County
We help Dallas renters find LIHTC, Section 8, and voucher friendly communities across Dallas County.
Dallas and Fort Worth share a metro, but HUD sets separate income limits for each side every year. Fort Worth's limits run lower than the Dallas area's. The apartments, the housing authority, and how often landlords take vouchers are different too. DHA Housing Solutions for North Texas (DHA), formerly the Dallas Housing Authority, runs public housing and mixed income communities across the city. You'll find them from South Dallas near Fair Park to West Dallas and Roseland in Central Dallas.
LIHTC communities cluster in Oak Cliff, Pleasant Grove, and the southern neighborhoods along I-35E. Garden style apartments and midrise buildings line the Dallas North Tollway and US-75 Central Expressway corridors too. Some LIHTC communities sit near Parkland Memorial Hospital and the Medical District, which helps if you work in healthcare. Texas law lets most private landlords choose whether to take vouchers, so we keep track of which communities tell us they accept them.
Our search takes in Plano, Irving, Garland, Denton, Carrollton, Grand Prairie, and Mesquite. DART's Red, Blue, Green, and Orange light rail lines reach Plano, Garland, Carrollton, and Irving. Live near a station and you may be able to get to work without a car.
Nearby areas: Garland, Irving, Plano, Denton, Carrollton, Grand Prairie, Mesquite

City of Fort Worth / Tarrant County
Across Tarrant County, we connect Fort Worth renters to LIHTC, Section 8, and voucher friendly communities.
Fort Worth Housing Solutions (FWHS) is the city's housing authority. It's separate from DHA, the Dallas housing authority. FWHS runs mixed income communities across the city.
LIHTC options range from garden style apartments near I-30 and Loop 820 to midrise buildings along I-35W. Arlington sits between Fort Worth and Dallas. It has income restricted communities but no train line or regular city bus routes, just the city's on demand rideshare. Tell us how you get to work when you fill out the intake. We cover communities in Benbrook, Haltom City, and the Alliance Town Center corridor too.
The TRE (Trinity Railway Express) connects Fort Worth to Dallas for renters commuting east. TEXRail reaches DFW Airport from downtown. If either line is part of your commute, ask how far each property is from a station on foot or by bus.
Nearby areas: Arlington, Bedford, Euless, Hurst, North Richland Hills, Mansfield, Grapevine, Keller
