Cleburne Housing’s mission is to assist the very low income with rental assistance, promote safe, decent, and sanitary housing conditions and manage resources efficiently. Cleburne Housing’s jurisdiction is within the City limits of Cleburne.

The Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Program is federally funded and the rules and regulations are determined by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. In addition, CHA maintains an Administrative Plan which outlines local regulations. The voucher program allows participants the freedom to select where they want to live within Cleburne Housing’s jurisdiction (which is the City limits).

Cleburne Housing 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

We are currently NOT accepting applications
Applicants interested in receiving rental assistance will complete an application when the waiting list is open to accept applications. The initial application permits CHA to preliminarily assess family eligibility or ineligibility and determine placement on the waiting list. The applicants will be required to provide proof of identification and information needed to make an initial assessment of the family’s eligibility. Such documentation will include copies of social security cards and birth certificates on all family members and citizenship information (if applicable). Proof of identification (picture identification) must be included for all family member(s) 18 years of age and older.
All qualifying applicants will be processed in the order received (according to date and time). Incomplete applications will not be accepted or processed and will be returned to the applicant for completion. Completed applications will be stamped with the current date and time which determines the applicant’s position on the waiting list.
Opening of the waiting list will be announced via public notice in the local newspaper of general circulation. The public notice will state when, where, and how to apply. The announcement will be in compliance with Fair Housing requirements. CHA will not accept applications when the waiting list is closed nor give out applications.
Determining Eligibility:
After determining preliminary eligibility, applicants will be placed on the waiting list. Placement on the waiting list does not determine eligibility for assistance. When assistance becomes available, Cleburne Housing will select applicants from the waiting list in accordance with HUD requirements and Cleburne Housing policies. When your name is reached on the waiting list you will be contacted by mail with instructions on what to do for us to determine if you are eligible for assistance.
