About Dallas Housing Authority

On March 11, 1938, The Housing Authority of the City of Dallas, Texas, (DHA) was created by the Dallas City Council after being authorized by the Legislature of Texas under the Housing Authorities Law of 1937.

DHA continues to evolve as an agency that builds sustainable communities, offering updated properties that residents are proud to call home and providing a stepping stone to self-sufficiency. In the past several years, George Loving Place was demolished and replaced with Kingbridge Crossing; Edgar Ward Place with Lakeview Townhomes; and Elmer Scott Place with Villa Creek Apartments. DHA built Lake West Village, which consists of 50 single-family homes. Frankford Townhomes in North Dallas was constructed and Hidden Ridge Apartments at Lake Highlands was acquired and renovated. DHA also revitalized the East Dallas CityPlace neighborhood with the Roseland, Monarch and Carroll properties.

DHA residents can choose rental housing in the private marketplace throughout the city with the use of vouchers. Residents have more than 500 apartment complexes with more than 12,000 units from which to choose.

DHA continues to offer innovative programs that assist clients with homeownership. The Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) program, for example, offers participants the opportunity to move into one of DHA's 50 single-family rental homes, giving residents the opportunity to experience the responsibility of living in a single-family home before taking the step to homeownership.

DHA also continues to foster community partnerships. The Lakewest Multipurpose Center is a perfect example of how several agencies can work together under one roof to serve the community. At the center, DHA has partnered with the YMCA, Head Start, the Dallas Police Department and Parkland hospital.† Clients can access recreation programs, day care, community safety and health care information and services in one convenient location.

DHA also purchased and rehabilitated an aging shopping center, making it the first public housing authority in the nation to own a shopping center. It attracts business to the West Dallas area with its national retail chains such as KFC, Taco Bell, Subway and H&R Block.

DHA continues to meet its clients' needs in the most fair, effective and efficient ways possible. With DHA assistance, residents will continue becoming self sufficient, contributing citizens.
