DHA owns and/or operates 634 affordable housing units at four locations throughout the City of Denton, and has another 270 units of workforce and market rate housing under construction.  Additionally, the agency administers more than 1,600 Housing Choice Vouchers (HCV) throughout Denton County. DHA has also funded local agencies through the use of non-federal funds to further its mission toward self-sufficiency for its clients and other low income families in the community.
