Stanton, Texas
Our Mission, Vision, and Values
Stanton Housing Authority envisions a world where a safe, welcoming, and affordable place to call home is open to everyone. Our mission is to build hope and opportunity for all residents to reach their full potential by creating, preserving, and strengthening affordable housing communities.
What We Do
Since 1964, the Stanton Housing Authority has provided housing assistance for low-income individuals, families, the elderly, and persons with disabilities. The Stanton Housing Authority is governed by a five-member Board of Commissioners and administers 123 Public Housing Units. The housing programs at Stanton Housing Authority are income based, and the eligibility guidelines are set by HUD (United States Department of Housing and Urban Development).
Stanton Housing Authority does not participate in the Housing Choice Voucher / Section 8 Program, and we are not equipped to accommodate Emergency Housing.
Where We Are
The Stanton Housing Authority offers housing opportunities to serve residents of the City of Stanton and Martin County in Texas. The office is located at 408 East Carpenter Street, Stanton, TX 79782.
A Message from Our Executive Director
“It is my privilege to serve as the Executive Director of the Stanton Housing Authority (SHA). I encourage you to take time and browse our website. I find that very few people truly do not understand what a Housing Authority (Public Housing) is all about. This is your chance to learn! Our primary mission is to provide affordable housing to eligible families and individuals.”

COVID 19 Announcement
The Stanton Housing Authority office is open with precautions in place. Residents will be helped one at a time to allow for physical distancing.
Residents can pay rent by mail or by dropping by the main office.
Housing Applications may be picked up and dropped off at our main office.
The Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013 (VAWA 2013) expands housing protections for victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking. Changes under VAWA 2013 include extending protections to survivors of sexual assault; allowing survivors who remain in the unit to establish eligibility or find new housing when a lease is bifurcated; providing survivors with emergency transfers; and additional notification to applicants and tenants of housing rights under VAWA. While these changes substantially extend VAWA's coverage to include most affordable housing programs, they provide no protection to tenants in private market-rate housing but do apply to tenants with vouchers in private market-housing.
SHA will provide all protection under VAWA 2013 to program participants and family members of program participants who are victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault or stalking from being evicted or terminated from housing assistance based on acts of such violence against them.
