Given a group G, its poset of hyperbolic structures \(\mathcal {H}(G)\) encodes all the possible cobounded actions of G on hyperbolic spaces. In this article, we describe the poset \(\mathcal {H}(H_n)\) for every Houghton group \(H_n\) , \(n \ge 2\) . In particular, we show that \(H_n\) admits exactly n focal hyperbolic structures. As an application, we construct the first example of a group admitting exactly one focal hyperbolic structure, answering a question of Abbott, Balasubramanya, and Osin.
