The problem we solve
Income Restricted Units in Fort Worth Are There - But They're Hard to Find
The affordable housing system in Texas is fragmented across five metros, dozens of housing authorities, and hundreds of communities. Renters get stuck for reasons that have nothing to do with their qualifications.
LIHTC units aren't labeled on listing sites
Zillow, Apartments.com, and Craigslist rarely mark income restricted units or let you filter for them. You end up cold-calling leasing offices.
Waitlists are a black box
You can't tell which lists are open, how long they are, or if the property even took applications this year. No dashboard exists.
AMI limits change every year
HUD and TDHCA publish new numbers each spring, and they vary by metro and household size. Yesterday's qualifier may not qualify today.
Application fees add up fast
Most properties charge $50-$150 per adult, and none are refundable. Applying to five wrong properties can cost you $500-$1,500.
Voucher acceptance is inconsistent
Some properties advertise voucher acceptance but never approve one. Others say no, then process yours if you push. There's no reliable filter.
Income minimums can block fixed-income renters
You may meet the AMI cap but fall below the property's 2x-2.5x rent minimum, especially on SSI, SSDI, or a pension.

What We Know About Fort Worth Housing
The local housing authority here is Fort Worth Housing Solutions (FWHS), operating independently from DHA across the county line in Dallas. FWHS manages mixed-income developments and voucher communities across Tarrant County.
LIHTC development is concentrated near I-30, Loop 820, and I-35W. Arlington, between the two cities, has a growing income restricted stock but no direct light rail service, so commute knowledge matters when we make your match.
The TRE (Trinity Railway Express) connects this area to Dallas for renters commuting east. TEXRail reaches DFW Airport. For income restricted renters near transit corridors, these connections are a meaningful factor in community selection.
How the Fort Worth Search Actually Works
Fort Worth shares the Dallas-Fort Worth metro AMI with Dallas, but the local housing authority is Fort Worth Housing Solutions (FWHS). FWHS runs mixed-income developments and voucher communities that are distinct from what DHA operates on the Dallas side. We cover Fort Worth plus Arlington, Bedford, Euless, Hurst, North Richland Hills, and Mansfield.
Communities We Know in Fort Worth
Our Fort Worth work centers on FWHS communities, mixed-income developments across Tarrant County, LIHTC properties in Arlington and North Richland Hills, and voucher-friendly private communities near I-30 and Loop 820. If you hold a voucher, we filter for actual acceptance instead of relying on listings.

Fort Worth Housing Questions
What is Fort Worth Housing Solutions?
Fort Worth Housing Solutions (FWHS) is the local housing authority. They own and manage mixed-income developments and voucher communities across the city and Tarrant County. We help you find open FWHS communities and navigate the application process.
Are Fort Worth and Dallas income limits the same?
Yes. HUD treats both cities as one metro, so AMI limits are identical. What differs is the inventory, the local housing authority (FWHS vs DHA on the Dallas side), and voucher-acceptance patterns.
Do you cover Arlington for income restricted apartments?
Yes. Arlington has LIHTC and income restricted communities in Tarrant County between the two main cities. Since Arlington has no direct light rail service, commute logistics matter. We factor that in when matching you to open communities.
Does the area have communities for seniors on a fixed income?
Yes. Tarrant County has 55+ and 62+ income restricted communities, mainly on the north and northeast sides of the city. We explain how SSDI and SSI income is treated at each community's income minimum, since that's where fixed-income seniors often get tripped up.
Are there income restricted apartments near TRE or TEXRail stops?
The Trinity Railway Express runs through Tarrant County, and TEXRail connects downtown to DFW Airport. Some income restricted communities are within a reasonable commute of these lines. If transit access matters, we can prioritize those corridors when we send your matches.
