Families. Homes. opportunity.

Changing Neighborhoods. Changing Lives.

HousQuest HOU, provides housing choice to motivated families on the path to self-sufficiency.

Participants in the Housing Choice Voucher Program (HCVP), also known as Section 8, all too often find they have limited options for high quality housing in safe neighborhoods. We believe that families who want to move to high opportunity areas should have that choice. HousQuest works directly with families, landlords and government agencies to give families a real choice in where they live.

how it works

Very few landlords with property in high opportunity areas will accept tenants receiving assistance. Voucher holders, on the other hand, have a short deadline to locate housing before their voucher expires. This leads to the majority of voucher holders living in the same low-income, high-crime neighborhoods in Houston.

HousQuest operates under a corporate leasing model to give families who want to move to a new neighborhood, the best chance possible to find a comfortable home zoned to some of the best schools in the greater Houston region.

What is Housing Choice?

Housing Choice refers to the ability of Section 8 participants to select a home and neighborhood in a location that best suits their individual preferences and needs.

Participants in the HCVP have the option to go to any neighborhood they choose. However, in actual practice participants are restricted in their choice. HousQuest wants to be part of the solution to the lack of housing choice…
