Local housing information for El Paso

EL PASO HOME CURRENT SITE REVIEW — HOME (Housing Opportunity Management Enterprises, Housing Authority of the City of El Paso) https://www.ephome.org/, reviewed September 29, 2026, says it serves over 52,000 people across 99 communities and reports 11,728 affordable housing units in its portfolio. Its CURRENT site does not publish a property-by-property roster, so those 99 communities have not been fabricated as listings. https://www.ephome.org/about.html specifically names the historic Alamito community and describes 307 rebuilt one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom apartments. These are total housing claims, NOT current vacancies. Its page gives 508 South Virginia as an Alamito location, but Texas's https://www.tdlr.texas.gov/TABS/Search/Print/TABS2024011901 identifies 508 Virginia Street as the Alamito STREAM Center (2024 work). Thus Alamito is intentionally unpinned: the center is not presented as an apartment entrance. HOME https://www.ephome.org/affordable-housing.html describes income-based affordable housing (typically around 30% of household income), RAD assistance, senior housing and specialized homelessness/farm-laborer programs, but does not identify which unnamed property takes which applications. The affordable-housing applicant entry is https://apply-home.ephome.org/sign-in-otp. https://www.ephome.org/voucher.html explicitly says the tenant-based Housing Choice Voucher/Section 8 waiting list is CLOSED and HOME will announce reopening; do not confuse that with PBV, which is attached to specific units. HOME says applicants can still pursue affordable housing and PBV via https://www.ephome.org/apply.html, but https://www.ephome.org/pbv.html currently shows account migration and migrated-account sign-in buttons rather than a clearly labelled new PBV registration path. Ask HOME how a new applicant should proceed. An application portal does not verify unit availability or admission. Neither these current program pages nor the named-community description publishes a property-level conviction screening rule or verifies that any particular felony is accepted. Confirm current waitlists, screening, income limits, residential location and manager before visiting or applying. HOME Customer Service Center: 203 Cortez Dr., El Paso TX 79905; (915) 849-3742; Monday–Friday 8 a.m.–5 p.m. Corporate office: 304 Texas Ave., Suite 1600, El Paso TX 79901. These are service/office locations, NOT residential buildings. Source: https://www.ephome.org/contact.html. Many HOME communities are managed with Winn Companies or Envolve, but https://www.ephome.org/about.html does not identify Alamito's manager.
