$45 million to help homeowners fix their homes.

San Antonio voters approved the 2022 - 2027 Bond program on May 7, 2022. The Affordable Housing Bond includes $150 million for the City of San Antonio to create and preserve affordable housing in five funding categories. One of those categories is to help homeowners fix their homes.

The program focuses on safety and accessible improvements to homes. Applicants are reviewed for major rehabilitation, minor rehabilitation, or a new roof.

Homeowners who make 80% of the Area Median Income (AMI) or less per year can apply for funds to repair their home. Affordable Housing Bond funds for home repair focus on families who make 50% AMI or less.

Visit the Homeowner Rehabilitation Program website to learn more about eligibility requirements and apply for home repair funds.
