Established in 1958, the Robstown Housing Authority (RHA) has grown in both size and scope. The Robstown Housing Authority owns and operates 260 housing units throughout the City of Robstown. The first 70 units were completed in 1963 and are located in the Curtis Place Apartment community. An additional 60 units were completed in 1966 and are scattered throughout Robstown. An additional 80 units, completed in 1974 comprise of the Johnny Calderon (60) and La Posada (20) Apartment communities. An additional 50 units, completed in 1984 are located at Northgate (30) and Senior Villa (20). To provide housing to the elderly population, 20 elderly units stand at the Senior Villa location and 20 elderly unis make up the La Posada apartment community. 

RHA administers 177 Housing Choice Vouchers under the Section 8 Voucher Program. Section 8 was authorized by the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974. This act signaled a shift from locally-owned public housing to the use of privately- owned rental housing as the primary federal housing program. RHA administers 39 Mainstream Vouchers. The Mainstream Vouchers assist non-elderly persons with disabilities and are administered using the same rules as other housing choice vouchers. RHA administers several grant programs including the Capital Fund Program, the Family Self Sufficiency (FSS) Program and the Resident Opportunities and Self Sufficiency (ROSS) grant program. Innovative programs and a progressive, professional staff ensure a future filled with responsible progress.
