Strategic Housing Implementation Plan (SHIP)

About

In 2020, the City of San Antonio began work on a Strategic Housing Implementation Plan (SHIP) to actualize strategies presented in the Housing Policy Framework that was adopted by City Council in 2018.

This work includes determining:

  • timelines
  • partners
  • specific action steps
  • funding approaches

Additionally, the 10-year target housing production goals are being adjusted upward to account for a broader range of community needs through a recalibration effort that ensures the Framework's requirement that solutions be data-driven is indeed the case.

The SHIP was developed in collaboration with community and housing stakeholders and included an outreach and input process to receive community input that will be overseen by the Housing Commission.

This process aligned with the first HPF action item to "Develop a coordinated housing system". Each policy will have its own public engagement process.

The SHIP continues the focus on the five large goals of the HPF which include:

  1. Develop a coordinated housing system.
  2. Increase city investment in housing with a 10-year funding plan.
  3. Increase affordable housing production, rehabilitation and preservation.
  4. Protect and promote neighborhoods.
  5. Ensure accountability to the public.

City staff worked closely with an 8-person steering committee and a contracted facilitator. Together, this group created four stakeholder forums to gather and provide feedback on the SHIP progress. The forums included:

  • Residents & Community Advocates
  • Real Estate & Developers
  • Affordable Housing Developers
  • Housing Policy
