Housing Authority City of Austin Jobs: Real Estate Operations careers

"I would just like to say thank you. Without your assistance, I would be unable to have a home."
~Ruby, Housing Choice Voucher Program resident

The Housing Authority of the City of Austin owns and operates 1,928 units of conventional public housing in 19 developments throughout Austin. Development sites range from high-rise apartments on Town Lake to small duplexes in residential neighborhoods. HACA also offers single-family homes throughout the city. Residents living in public housing have a wide variety of services available to them. Resident Services include everything from providing referrals and resources to assisting residents in becoming economically independent. Residents who apply for public housing units are assigned to units as they become available and do not have the option to choose the HACA community in which they live.

HACA also manages the Housing Choice Voucher/Section 8 Program that provides rent vouchers and certificates for more than 5,000 units of housing in Austin's private rental market. HACA pays a portion of the rent directly to the landlord. This program allows residents to choose the place in which they want to live. NOTE THAT THE HOUSING CHOICE VOUCHER PROGRAM (SECTION 8) WAIT LIST IS CURRENTLY CLOSED.

The 2008 Annual Plan and 2005-2009 Revised Five-Year Plan were approved by The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and are available for review at the Central Office or any Public Housing Management Office. You may also review the plans here.

HACA also awards $50,000 in scholarships to its residents.
