About this property

PECAN PLACE is a HUD-assisted multifamily rental community located at 1600 Pecan St, Bonham, TX 75418. The property participates in the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Section 202 — Supportive Housing for the Elderly program and offers 39 federally-assisted units within a building of 40 total apartments. Section 202 is a HUD program that funds the construction and operation of supportive housing dedicated to very low-income households where at least one member is age 62 or older. Properties typically include features designed for older adults — accessible units, on-site service coordinators, and proximity to transit and medical services.

The community sits within the broader Bonham, TX HUD-assisted housing inventory, which includes 1 property totaling 39 assisted units. Statewide, Texas has thousands of HUD-assisted apartments under similar contracts.

Eligibility & rent calculation

Section 202 properties are reserved for households where at least one member is 62 or older. Income must generally fall at or below 50% of the local Area Median Income (AMI), and rent is set at 30% of adjusted household income. HUD updates income limits annually for every metropolitan area and county in the country — you can look up the current figures for the Bonham area on HUD User’s Income Limits page. In practice, the rent calculation works like this: HUD takes your gross household income, subtracts allowances for dependents, elderly or disabled household members, child care, and certain medical expenses to arrive at adjusted income. You pay 30% of that adjusted figure each month, and HUD pays the property the rest of the contracted rent.

Most recent HUD REAC physical inspection score on file: 99. REAC scores range from 0–100; properties scoring under 60 receive additional HUD oversight and follow-up inspections.

Applying & the waitlist

Most HUD-assisted properties operate their own waitlist, separate from the local Public Housing Agency’s Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher list. To apply at PECAN PLACE:

  • Call the on-site management office at (903) 583-2180 and ask whether the waitlist is currently open. Some properties open the list only briefly each year.
  • If the list is closed, ask when it last opened, when it is expected to reopen, and whether they keep a notification list for future openings.
  • Have basic household information ready: number of household members and their ages, total annual household income, and any preferences you may qualify for (veteran, displaced, working, elderly, disabled, or homeless).
  • Bring identification, Social Security cards or numbers for all household members, and the most recent income documentation (pay stubs, benefits letters, tax returns) when you submit an application.

If the waitlist at PECAN PLACE is closed or the wait is long, also apply for a Housing Choice Voucher through your local Public Housing Agency — see our step-by-step Section 8 application guide — and consider nearby cities in Texas. You can also review our eligibility checklist and tenant rights primer before you call.
