What is Public Housing?

A home is more than just a roof over your head. A home should be a place where you are able to build your future, grow your dreams, and find safety and rest. The Housing Authority of the City of Lubbock aims to do just this. We have a mission to help every resident of Lubbock find a safe place to live, dream, and grow. If you are looking for affordable housing in Lubbock, we are here to help. Whether you are looking for public housing, Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher (HCV), or Section 8 Project Based Vouchers (PBV), you can apply here. Learn more about the programs we administer here.

Public Housing Eligibility

Public housing is only eligible for low-income households and individuals. Your eligibility is determined by the Housing Authority of the City of Lubbock based on your annual gross income, whether you qualify as a family, person with a disability, or a family, and your United States citizenship and immigration status. If you are eligible for public housing, the Housing Authority of the City of Lubbock will run background checks and contact references to ensure that you and your household will be good tenants. The Housing Authority of the City of Lubbock abides by income limits developed by the Department of Housing and Urban Development. HUD has established the lower income limits at 80% and very low income limits at 50% of the median income for the county or metropolitan area in which you choose to live. (https://www.hud.gov/topics/rental_assistance/phprog). It should be noted that income limits are based on where you live, so you may be eligible for public housing in one area and not eligible in another area.
