Dallas Housing Authority

Dallas Housing Authority (DHA) is the public housing authority of Dallas, Texas.

The Mayor of Dallas appoints the DHA's five-member governing board, and the board selects the DHA's president.[1]

History

In 1937 the Housing Act was passed by the U.S. federal government, and the Dallas City Council established the DHA in 1938.[1]
