Baytown Housing Authority
Baytown, Texas
Mission Statement
The Baytown Housing Authority's mission is to assist low-income families with their housing needs. Baytown Housing Authority works as a team to encourage the success of our families through mutual respect, concern, and accountability. Our residents know there is no place like home - a safe, affordable home.
Since 1947, the Baytown Housing Authority (BHA) has provided quality affordable housing opportunities to serve the citizens of the City of Baytown in Texas. BHA is governed by a five-member Board of Commissioners appointed by the Mayor. The BHA manages 130 units and 841 Housing Choice Vouchers at our agency. The complexes are Edison Courts (Elderly and Disabled only), Olive Courts, Sam Houston Place (family complexes), and Alexander Place (mixed-finance complex, which is 18 Public Housing and 18 Project Bases units). BHA also owns 30 units (Lincoln Courts), which are owned by the agency, and that complex does not receive subsidy. We keep the rents as low as possible to help families who otherwise could not afford housing. The units (except for Lincoln Courts) are income-based, and the eligibility guidelines are set by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
