About Housing authority of the city of el paso
Welcome to the Housing Authority of the City of El Paso, TX! We are a government agency that provides affordable housing solutions for low-income families and individuals in the city of El Paso. Our mission is to improve the quality of life for our residents by offering safe, decent, and affordable housing options.
Our agency was established in 1938 under the United States Housing Act as part of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal program. Since then, we have been committed to providing affordable housing options for those who need it most. We work closely with local government agencies and community organizations to ensure that our residents have access to resources that can help them achieve self-sufficiency.
At the Housing Authority of the City of El Paso, we offer a variety of programs and services designed to meet the unique needs of our residents. Our Public Housing Program provides safe and affordable rental units for eligible low-income families and individuals. We also offer a Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program which allows eligible participants to choose their own rental unit from private landlords who participate in our program.
In addition to these programs, we also offer supportive services such as job training, education assistance, financial counseling, and more. These services are designed to help our residents achieve self-sufficiency so they can move out of public housing or off Section 8 assistance altogether.
We take pride in maintaining high standards for all properties under our management. Our team works diligently to ensure that all units are well-maintained and meet safety standards set forth by federal regulations.
As an agency committed to transparency and accountability, we regularly report on our progress towards achieving our goals through annual reports available on our website. We also welcome feedback from residents through surveys conducted throughout the year.
