About Weatherford Housing Authority
The Weatherford Housing Authority (PHA Code TX349) serves Weatherford, Parker County, Texas. It provides housing assistance through its Public Housing and Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) programs, managing approximately 524 Housing Choice Vouchers.
Currently, the Public Housing program is open for new applications. While the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program is closed, its status has changed periodically. Applicants interested in Public Housing should ensure they meet the specific income limits for their household size and area. For example, a family of four must not exceed a Very Low Income limit of $53,350 annually, which is based on the Fort Worth-Arlington, TX HUD Metro FMR Area.
It is advisable for potential applicants to verify current program availability and income requirements directly with the Weatherford Housing Authority, as these statuses and limits can change.

Other Programs
4 programsThese programs are administered by this housing authority but do not have active waitlist openings at this time. Statuses are verified nightly and subscribers will be notified when changes are detected.
The website mentions that applications for the Housing Choice Voucher Program (Section 8) are accepted on Tuesdays, but does not explicitly state if the waiting list is open or closed. However, it also states that "Port Ins can take 45 to 60 days" and require attending a "New Admissions Briefer/Port In Briefer". This suggests a process for incoming participants rather than an open general application period.
Mainstream Vouchers provide rental assistance specifically for non-elderly persons with disabilities. The program helps individuals transition out of institutional settings or avoid institutionalization by subsidizing housing costs in the private market.
Project-Based Vouchers are tied to specific housing units rather than following the tenant. Landlords or developers partner with the housing authority to reserve units for eligible low-income families. Unlike tenant-based HCV vouchers, PBV assistance stays with the unit if the tenant moves.
The Rental Assistance Demonstration program converts Public Housing units to project-based assistance, allowing housing authorities to leverage private funding for property rehabilitation while preserving long-term affordability for residents.
