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

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.

The Warm Hearts, Warm Homes program is a locally-funded project that delivers a free space heater to older adults or veterans who have no safe source of heat inside their homes.

Thanks to the continued generosity and contributions from our fellow citizens - since 2009, the Warm Hearts program has been able to support over 100 homes, every year, across our 13-County service area.

To qualify, persons must be 60 years of age or older and a resident of one of the 13 counties in the AACOG Region. The recipient must also have no current, safe means of heating in their home, or the existing heating source is not working. A stove or oven is not considered a safe and adequate source of heating a home, as this regularly leads to numerous fires and casualties in our community.

For more information, or to request a heater, call the Alamo Service Connection at (210) 477-3275 (or toll free at 866-231-4922) or email for details.
