NOTICE ON CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19)
During this unprecedented time
the Cameron County Housing Authority’s (CCHA) primary concern is for the
health and safety of our community, residents and staff.
As the outbreak of the novel Corona-virus (COVID-19) continues to
impact Texas and the rest of the country, CCHA is taking extra precautionary
measures to limit in-person interactions as suggested by the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and asking partners to call rather than
to visit our offices.
CCHA staff will continue to work. At this time, but our
offices will be closed to the public.
We encourage the community to visit our website for important
operational updates and changes.
CCHA has outlined the following implementations as to the operations of our
