The HCV program (also known as Section 8) is the government’s primary program to assist income-eligible households with the opportunity to afford decent, safe and sanitary housing.

The Housing Authority of Bexar County (HABC) is the public housing agency that administers the Housing Choice Voucher program in Bexar County, and adherence to HUD regulations.

Participants in HABC’s Housing Choice Voucher program may lease an approved housing unit where vouchers are accepted.  The participant pays a portion of the rent (according to household income), and HABC pays the difference.

Notification to the general public when pre-applications are taken will be made through various media and social sources.

Eligibility is determined based on the total annual income and family size of the household. Annual income cannot exceed 50% of the area median income for Bexar County. Family assets are also taken into consideration when determining eligibility.

Pre-applications are taken during waiting list events. (Currently no one is eligible for a new voucher as the waiting list is currently closed)

Participants in HABC’s Housing Choice Voucher program may lease an approved housing unit where vouchers are accepted. The tenant is expected to comply with the lease and the HCV program requirements, pay their share of rent on time, maintain the housing unit in good condition and notify HABC of any changes in household income or composition.  Failure to comply with these requirements may subject the family to an informal hearing. Hearing decisions can vary from immediate corrective measures implemented to termination from the HCV program.

Built in 1996, the Avenida Guadalupe Associations’ first low-income senior community, the San Jacinto Senior Community Residence, was developed with major funding support from the State of Texas. Located at 1512 El Paso, San Jacinto’s 50 units offer the conveniences of any gated modern apartment complex.

Our Casas Resident Council allows first-time home buyers to purchase an affordable, single-family home in San Antonio.

Our Casas has provided affordable housing, homebuyer education, and foreclosure prevention services to low-moderate income families since 1990. Our HUD-certified Housing Counseling Agency and City certified Community Housing Development Organization, prepares families for homeownership, and prevents foreclosure. 

Upcoming Affordable Home Projects:

-Westside/Kayton Homes--expected to be completed by late 2025, this project consists of three, 3BR, 2BA homes in the Southeast part of San Antonio.

-Apache Creek/Dario Chapa Casitas--Expected to be completed by early 2026, this project continues our production of affordable casitas in the near Westside.

The Executive Director of the nonprofit says tackling the affordable housing issue this way helps not just the family, but also improves the neighborhood by removing an empty lot putting a house there.

“It’s helping a family meet that American dream of homeownership that is what has been driving the country forever, and we want to make sure that everyone has an opportunity,” said Zeke Romo, Former Executive Director of Our Casas Resident Council. "You bringing a vacant lot into the tax rolls for example this home over 100 years will bring in with taxes $5000 per year and no telling other kind of income with the family shopping in the neighborhood and eating at restaurants all over the west side.”

The nonprofit is looking to purchase more vacant lots in different parts of the city where affordable housing is desperately needed.

The organization is already accepting applications for purchase.

“A house is a symbol of opportunity, it’s a symbol of safety, it’s a sanctuary for families,”
-Mayor Ron Nirenberg

As the cost of housing continues to cause economic pressure on San Antonio residents, partnerships with Our Casas Affordable Homes Project are vital,” District 5 Councilwoman Teri Castillo said. “Our families deserve quality housing, and the addition of this home with a casita in the 78207 shows our City’s commitment to supporting San Antonio residents by providing accessible housing.”

The creation of a family home is the culmination of systemwide efforts to align our funding streams, partnerships, and resident services to promote homeownership and reinvestment back into our neighborhoods.

In 2017, the Office of Urban Redevelopment (OURSA) sold five lots to Our Casas to build five single-family homes that would be sold to eligible first-time homebuyers who are earning 80 percent of the Area Median Income or less, which is an annual income of $63,750 for a family of three. 

Affordable homeownership through infill development demonstrates the power of collaborating with our housing partners to expand access to housing stability and opportunity for our families.
