The Housing Authority was initially created to serve the farmworking families and migrant families in the County. The first Farm Labor projects developed into 246 units in McAllen, TX and 289 units in Weslaco, TX. The Housing Authority has since addressed the housing needs of low-income families with additional programs, such as Public Housing, Housing Choice Vouchers, and Family-Self Sufficiency Programs.

The HACH is committed to providing opportunities for familes to assist themselves.
