About Greenville Housing Authority
The Greenville Housing Authority (PHA Code: TX522), located in Greenville, Hunt County, Texas, provides affordable housing assistance to eligible low-income individuals and families. The authority manages approximately 792 assisted housing units, primarily through its Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program.
Currently, the Greenville Housing Authority offers programs including the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program, Project-Based Vouchers (PBV), and Public Housing. Please note that all waiting lists for these programs are presently closed, and the authority is not accepting new applications.
When waitlists are open, eligibility for programs like the HCV is generally based on income limits set by HUD. For example, a very low-income family of four in the Dallas, TX HUD Metro FMR Area currently has an income limit of $58,650 per year. Applicants must meet specific criteria for residency and income to qualify for assistance.
