Historic Districts Coalition

Historic Districts Coalition logo. The Historic Districts Coalition (HDC) is a collaboration between the Office of Historic Preservation (OHP), historic district residents and other members of the public.

The HDC provides a regular forum for leaders of historic districts and neighborhoods, property owners and preservation advocates to engage with the City of San Antonio on preservation issues.

The HDC exists to:
  • sustain ongoing awareness of issues that impact Historic Districts.
  • provide input to OHP on initiatives.
  • engage in productive dialogue and advocacy to inform policy recommendations.
  • share updated information and programs offered by OHP, other relevant agencies and entities.
  • initiate programs and special projects about public education and neighborhood preservation.
HDC meetings are a place to:
  • share ideas, information and resources.
  • present issues and develop solutions.
  • learn about City policy or processes.
  • facilitate communication regarding pertinent issues.

Participation

Anyone with an interest in historic preservation issues in San Antonio is invited to participate! The HDC is a great resource for anyone engaged in, representing, or owning a historic property or a property that is following the historic designation process.

An additional HDC Steering Committee, led by volunteer participants, meets to discuss current issues and recommend meeting agenda topics. Individual Steering Committee members dedicate additional time to provide support and information at the neighborhood level. Volunteer participants are welcome to serve at any time.
