About Us

The Garland Housing Agency assists low and moderate income families by placing them in privately owned apartments, houses and other residential dwellings, while paying only a proportionate share of their income for rent. The programs administered by the Garland Housing Agency include:

• Family Self-Sufficiency
• Housing Choice Voucher Home Ownership

Our goal is to provide individuals with opportunities to improve themselves and the lives of their families.
