A

## Austin, TX

City of Austin / Travis County

Income Restricted Apartments connects renters to LIHTC, Section 8, and voucher-friendly communities across the \*\*Austin\*\* metro - a TREC-licensed locator service (#679806) with 20+ years of combined Texas real estate experience. The Austin-Round Rock MSA AMI runs higher than most of Texas. A household that would not qualify for a 60% unit in San Antonio often qualifies here. The city also layers its own \*\*SMART Housing\*\* program on top of federal LIHTC, adding community-specific qualification rules that vary by property. \*\*Travis County\*\* has a mix of older stabilized LIHTC properties near \*\*I-35\*\* and newer lease-ups in Domain-adjacent and \*\*Mueller\*\* neighborhoods. Garden-style complexes along \*\*North Lamar\*\* and mid-rise developments near \*\*Riverside Drive\*\* offer different price points within the same AMI tier. \*\*HACA\*\* and \*\*HATC\*\* manage their own waitlists separately from private LIHTC communities, so knowing which authority runs a given property changes the application process. Suburb demand in \*\*Round Rock\*\*, \*\*Pflugerville\*\*, \*\*Cedar Park\*\*, and \*\*Del Valle\*\* has grown with population. We track open communities across the full metro, including \*\*Wells Branch\*\*, \*\*Manor\*\*, and \*\*Kyle\*\* - not just inside city limits. As of 2026, the Austin MSA has more than 200 affordable housing communities listed through AHOST and TDHCA combined.

**Also covering:** Round Rock, Pflugerville, Cedar Park, Leander, Kyle, Buda, Manor

## San Antonio, TX

City of San Antonio / Bexar County

\*\*San Antonio's\*\* income restricted inventory divides between Opportunity Home communities (the local housing authority, formerly SAHA) and privately owned LIHTC properties across Bexar County. AMI limits here run below the Austin metro, so a household that earns just over Austin's threshold may qualify in this metro. Voucher acceptance is relatively strong across the area. \*\*Loop 410\*\* and \*\*I-35\*\* corridors have LIHTC communities that process Housing Choice Voucher applications routinely, and \*\*Opportunity Home\*\* manages mixed-income developments on both the north and west sides. The \*\*San Antonio-New Braunfels MSA\*\* extends into Comal County (New Braunfels) and Guadalupe County (Schertz, Converse). We cover the full MSA, not just the city limits.

**Also covering:** New Braunfels, Schertz, Converse, Universal City, Leon Valley, Alamo Heights, Stone Oak

## Houston, TX

City of Houston / Harris County

Income Restricted Apartments is a free, TREC-licensed locator (License #679806) connecting Houston renters to LIHTC, Section 8, and voucher-friendly communities across \*\*Harris County\*\* - backed by 20+ combined years of Texas real estate experience. The metro has more than 294 income restricted communities across Harris County and the surrounding area. That volume is both the advantage and the problem: without current open-waitlist data, renters waste weeks calling leasing offices that haven't accepted applications in months. \*\*Houston Housing Authority (HHA)\*\* manages public housing communities across the city, from \*\*Third Ward\*\* and \*\*Greenspoint\*\* to the northwest side. Separately, LIHTC properties range from mid-rise developments in the \*\*Texas Medical Center\*\* area and \*\*Midtown\*\* to garden-style complexes in \*\*Katy\*\*, \*\*Cypress\*\*, and \*\*Sugar Land\*\*. Communities in \*\*Spring Branch\*\*, \*\*Alief\*\*, and \*\*Sharpstown\*\* offer additional LIHTC stock within the Beltway. Senior-qualified 55+ and 62+ developments are concentrated on the north and northwest sides. Voucher acceptance varies sharply across the metro. We filter for communities that actually process HCV applications and coordinate your Request for Tenancy Approval, rather than ones that list vouchers accepted but rarely approve them. As of 2026, the Houston-The Woodlands-Sugar Land MSA holds the largest income restricted inventory in Texas.

**Also covering:** Katy, Spring, Cypress, Pasadena, Sugar Land, Humble, Baytown

D

## Dallas, TX

City of Dallas / Dallas County

Income Restricted Apartments is a free, TREC-licensed locator (License #679806) that connects Dallas renters to LIHTC, Section 8, and voucher-friendly communities across Dallas County - backed by 20+ combined years of Texas real estate experience. \*\*Dallas\*\* shares the DFW metro AMI with Fort Worth, set by HUD annually. The 2026 income limits are the same across both cities, but the inventory, housing authority, and voucher-acceptance patterns differ. \*\*Dallas Housing Authority (DHA)\*\* manages public housing and voucher communities across the county, including mixed-income developments near \*\*Fair Park\*\* and south of downtown. LIHTC development spans \*\*Oak Cliff\*\*, \*\*Pleasant Grove\*\*, and the southern neighborhoods along \*\*I-35E\*\*, plus garden-style apartments and mid-rise developments along the \*\*Dallas North Tollway\*\* and \*\*US-75 Central Expressway\*\* corridors. Near \*\*Parkland Memorial Hospital\*\* and the Medical District, several LIHTC communities serve healthcare workers earning below 60% AMI. Source-of-income protections affect how landlords handle voucher applications, and our team tracks which private communities actively process them. Coverage extends to \*\*Plano\*\*, \*\*Irving\*\*, \*\*Garland\*\*, \*\*Denton\*\*, \*\*Carrollton\*\*, \*\*Grand Prairie\*\*, and \*\*Mesquite\*\*. DART Light Rail Green, Red, Blue, and Orange lines connect many of these suburbs, making car-free commuting practical for renters near station corridors.

**Also covering:** Garland, Irving, Plano, Denton, Carrollton, Grand Prairie, Mesquite

F

## Fort Worth, TX

City of Fort Worth / Tarrant County

Income Restricted Apartments is a free, TREC-licensed locator (License #679806) that connects Fort Worth renters to LIHTC, Section 8, and voucher-friendly communities across Tarrant County - backed by 20+ combined years of Texas real estate experience. The local housing authority 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 the city, including properties near \*\*Near Southside\*\* and the \*\*Medical District\*\* adjacent to \*\*JPS Health Network\*\*. LIHTC development spans garden-style apartments near \*\*I-30\*\* and \*\*Loop 820\*\*, mid-rise developments along \*\*I-35W\*\*, and townhome-style units in \*\*Wedgwood\*\*, \*\*Ridglea\*\*, and \*\*White Settlement\*\*. \*\*Arlington\*\*, between the two cities, has a growing income restricted stock but no direct light rail service, so commute logistics matter when we match you. We also track communities in \*\*Benbrook\*\*, \*\*Haltom City\*\*, and the \*\*Alliance Town Center\*\* corridor. The \*\*TRE (Trinity Railway Express)\*\* connects Fort Worth to Dallas for renters commuting east. \*\*TEXRail\*\* reaches DFW Airport from downtown. As of 2026, Tarrant County has both stabilized LIHTC communities and newer lease-ups accepting applications near these transit corridors.

**Also covering:** Arlington, Bedford, Euless, Hurst, North Richland Hills, Mansfield, Grapevine, Keller
