HUD Voucher Funding: Flat for 2025, But DFW Rentals—and Section 8—Stand the Test of Time

Federal funding for HUD’s voucher program is flat for 2025, but Dallas-Fort Worth rentals keep their edge. With 31,500–32,000 vouchers locked in across the metroplex, tenant demand stays solid, backed by a program that’s weathered decades of ups and downs since 1974. Real estate’s a long game, and DFW’s growth and stability shine through, even without a funding boost. Flat budgets might pinch waitlists over time, but this market’s fundamentals—sticky rents, population boom—keep it a smart play for investors looking past the headlines.
