What We Do
The Housing Authority of the City of Lubbock was established in 1941, empowered with the responsibility and authority to maintain the Public Housing Program for the City of Lubbock, Texas. The Section 8 Program was created by the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974. Our mission is to provide affordable and accessible housing to the residents of Lubbock.
The City of Lubbock has the authority to monitor the Housing Authority’s activities and operation through the appointment of a five-member commissioner’s board. This board is appointed by the mayor.
