The Crosbyton Chamber of Commerce congratulates the Housing Authority of the City of Crosbyton, the Business of the Month for October. The Housing Authority is located on Berkshire Street. The office is run by Executive Director, Darla Doss and Assistant Director Susie Justus. The apartments of the Housing Authority are maintained by Jimmy Doss and Richard Wallace. The Housing Authority’s mission is to provide safe, clean, affordable housing for its tenants. It functions under the directives of the national cabinet office of HUD, Housing and Urban Development. The office staff reports to HUD on its populations, apartments and on all financial information.
Darla Doss, oversees daily operations and works closely with a board of five Crosbyton citizens that include Chairman Betty Upchurch, Vice- Chairman, Amy Harris, Dot Witt, Nora Jean Long, and Asneth Barrera. Darla praises their work as a board and comments them for their community service.
Supervisor Jimmy Doss and Assistant Richard Wallace build cabinets in their shop, keep appliances running, and ready apartments for new tenants. Each of the Authority apartments has a refrigerator, stove, and central heating and air. The Housing Authority maintains the grounds and pays the water bill for each unit. To be eligible for an apartment the prospective tenant must pass a criminal check, credit check, and a former landlord check. The entire staff and board works to provide affordable housing in the City of Crosbyton.
