How do I apply for Section 8 in Texas?

Where is a good place to move to in Dallas, Texas with a section 8 voucher?

  • Cali, is too expensive. There no job opportunities for my children. The school systems sucks. Rent constantly going up. Good neighborhoods are getting more dangerous. Can anybody give me information about good cities, jobs, churches(baptist, non-denominational), schools, hospitals (daughter has a pacemaker). I am an AA and I don't want to live in a neighborhood full of crime but a diverse neighborhood that you don't to worry so much about breaking into your car, home etc., Also, if anyone has any links or personally experience of Dallas and information about Dallas Housing Authority that deals with Section 8. I love Cali but the opportunities are not here for me. Only serious people reply. Thank you so much. Could you please post the cities that will accept Section 8 voucher and the Housing Authority locations.

  • Answer:

    East Dallas has both good & bad areas but prob better.Best Baptist Church is First Baptist Dallas in downtown(on tv Dr Jeffreys) Sect 8 is accepted in many places but usually a long wait,some emergency cases faster.upper Gaston Ave near Abrams or White Rock area is a better area,but rent may be some higher but not always.Swiss Ave is upper class but most is high.All cities are getting worse,but this is prob better than Cal. Outside of Dallas in Mesquite or Denton or Allen is much safer,but rent may be more.Pays to check ahead.Parkland Hospital is known as best in state with famous research hosp next & they work together.If qualify parkland has a pgm to cover much of what ins does not,for some free.

Just to comment that before you port from Calif to Texas you have to know which county you are going to. All counties and some cities have their own Housing Authority which has to arrange with your HA to accept the voucher. You have a better chance if you move to a jurisdiction that has similar rents or lower rents from where you are now because your Calif HA will pay your rent.
