On April 22, 1975 the Housing Authority of the City of Nacogdoches, TX was created by resolution of the City Commission of Nacogdoches. The City Commission appoints a five member Housing Authority Board of Commissioners who serve voluntarily as the policy making body for our organization. Once appointed, these Board members serve two year terms and function autonomously from the City Commission.

In February 1976, the Nacogdoches Housing Authority received its first contract with the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development to provide rental assistance to 50 low-income families.  We are now assisting over 950 families throughout Nacogdoches County with rental assistance, and own 76 public housing dwelling units.

Our main purpose is to provide safe, decent, and sanitary housing for low-income families throughout Nacogdoches County. While providing this service we also are working toward providing home ownership opportunities and self-sufficiency for these families.

We also work to promote drug abuse elimination and prevention and healthy lifestyles for our participants.

It is our intention to continue providing excellent service in our programs at a minimum of expense.
