The Housing Authority of the City of Arlington (AHA) will accept applications from persons interested in participating in its Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program only during the Open Enrollment period, which begins at 9 a.m. Wednesday, July 15, 2020, and ends at 9 a.m. Monday, July 20, 2020.

Applications will be retained until the next open enrollment. All current HCV applications from the previous open enrollment will be terminated effective July 10, 2020 and must re-apply during this Open Enrollment period.

Due to COVID-19, applicants will not be assisted at the Housing office. Applications will only be accepted online. Click here to visit the Arlington Housing Authority website to complete your application.

Applicants that need access to a computer may visit a branch of the Arlington Public Library, but they will have limited availability due to COVID-19. Be sure to check their current hours of operation. Persons needing assistance with completing an application may contact the AHA during the Open Enrollment period at 817-276-6722. Applicants must have an active email account to apply. A free email account can be obtained through an email provider of your choice.

To ensure the application process is fair and available to all, applications received will be randomly assigned a position on the waiting list. Time and date of application will not be used to establish an applicant’s position on the waiting list. Application status and information regarding placement on the waiting list will be available on-line after July 27, 2020.

The HCV program is a rental housing assistance program funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The program assists very low income persons, families, the elderly, and persons with disabilities to reside in safe, decent, rental housing they can afford.
