Cleburne Housing Agency
Please note: Our building is currently closed to the public. Cleburne Housing Agency (CHA) Staff is working normal hours; current participants and applicants may submit documents by mail, e-mail ([email protected]), or use the drive-thru night depository for the building. |
Cleburne Housing's mission is to provide rental assistance to the elderly, disabled, and very low income while promoting safe, decent, and sanitary housing conditions and managing resources efficiently. The housing jurisdiction is the city limits of Cleburne.
Cleburne Housing Agency (CHA) will comply with all federal, state, and local non-discrimination laws, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development regulations governing fair housing and equal opportunity.
CHA does not provide any form of emergency housing assistance.
Housing Choice Voucher Program
The Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Program allows participants the freedom to select where they want to live within the housing authority's jurisdiction. The program is federally funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Eligible families will pay approximately 30% of their adjusted income towards rent. Participants choose housing that is program eligible (may be house, apartment, duplex, etc.) and located within the City limits of Cleburne. Compliance is determined by an inspection of the unit. Cleburne Housing pays a portion of the family's rent directly to the landlord each month (based on the family's income). The amount of rental assistance will change if the family's income changes.
