General Info

The Fort Worth Housing Authority develops, owns and operates housing for low income families who cannot afford housing offered in the private market. Established in 1938, the Fort Worth Housing Authority was created by the City of Fort Worth, Texas, in accordance with enabling legislation enacted through the State of Texas Housing Authorities Law. The Authority, which is a municipally-owned public organization, is governed by a five-member board of commissioners. The commissioners are appointed by the mayor for two-year terms and may be reappointed. The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) provides guidelines, regulations and funding for the agency's operation.
