This program helps repair the homes of low-income homeowners who are located in the Westside of San Antonio. The rehabilitated homes will be renovated to meet building codes and address safety issues among other concerns to provide better living conditions for the homeowners. 

Our Casas Resident Council, a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)-certified Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO), implemented the Zarzamora Affordable Home Project, an initiative to increase housing affordability on the Westside of San Antonio. 

Our Casas Resident Council Launches Westside Home Repair Program with Grant Secured by Congressman Castro.

Located in San Antonio – With the help of more than $1 million in federal funding secured by Congressman Joaquin Castro (TX-20), Our Casas Resident Council, Inc. has opened applications for the High Impact Housing Project, a new program to repair owner-occupied homes in the near Westside.

At least 20 homes will be repaired in census tracts 1703 and 1709 in the near Westside with the funding from Congressman Castro, and 10 additional homes in the surrounding area will be repaired with a $300,000 grant from Bexar County.

About Our House Repairs

Owner-occupied home repair services:

Our Casas believes to increase the number of affordable housing units includes building new, single-family homes AND repairing existing homes, so those houses are not demolished or become vacant. The home repair program is funded by Bexar County and HUD through a Community Funding Project made possible by Congressman Joaquin Castro.  

As part of the FY 2023 federal community project funding process, Congressman Castro secured $1,057,257 for the Our Casas Resident Council High Impact Housing Project to support efforts to repair the homes of low-income homeowners on the Westside of San Antonio. The rehabilitated homes had to be renovated to meet building codes and address safety issues among other concerns to provide better living conditions for the homeowners.

Our Casas Resident Council is dedicated to rebuilding the community one family at a time.
