New Affordable Housing Apartment Community Opens with Homes and Supportive Services for Unhoused Neighbors
SAN ANTONIO (January 20, 2026) – The City of San Antonio, Franklin Development, the San Antonio Housing Trust and SAMMinistries celebrated the ribbon cutting of Four25 San Pedro Apartments, the final affordable housing project supported by the 2017-2022 Neighborhood Improvements Bond.
Four25 San Pedro Apartments offers 80 affordable homes available for rent to families earning at or below 60% of the Area Median Income, which represents an annual income of about $52,500 or less for a family of three. Of those 80 homes, 25 are designated as Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH), which provides homes to individuals or families exiting homelessness. The project includes on-site supportive services to ensure people have the resources needed to remain stably housed.
“Four25 is a testament to when public and private partnerships prioritize the well-being of San Antonians,” said Mayor Gina Ortiz Jones. “My sincere thanks to the Neighborhood and Housing Services Department, The San Antonio Housing Trust, SAMMinistries, USAA, and Franklin Companies for their work in making Four25 a safe, quality place to call home.”
In alignment with the City’s 10-year Strategic Housing Implementation Plan (SHIP), Four25 San Pedro contributes to the creation of 1,000 units of Permanent Supportive Housing to provide housing opportunities for those households transitioning out of homelessness.
“This project is exactly what affordable housing should look like: close to quality schools, near the heart of our city, and well-connected to public transit,” District 1 Councilmember Dr. Sukh Kaur said. “Although this project began before me, I am proud to have helped bring Four25 San Pedro to life for our community.”
As part of the City’s commitment to aligning housing and transit services, Four25 San Pedro will also be on the forthcoming VIA Green Line Rapid route, connecting residents to downtown, the San Antonio International Airport and other points along San Pedro Ave.
“Affordable housing creates stability, and transit provides mobility,” said Jon Gary Herrera, president & CEO of VIA Metropolitan Transit. “The combination of those two elements opens new doors to opportunity for our community. Our community envisioned robust rapid transit, and we’re excited to be delivering on that. The Four25 Apartments exemplify the interconnectivity between housing and transit, and we’re proud to serve the individuals and families who will make their home there and rely on VIA to take them to what matters most.”
SAMMinistries provides supportive services that fostered long-term housing stability and overall self-sufficiency to households at Four25 San Pedro. Case Managers develop a plan of service with each resident and provide connection to services that provide support to improve mental and physical health through on-site clinics.
“Four25 San Pedro is a much-needed step forward in creating affordable, transit-oriented housing in San Antonio,” Nikisha J. Baker, President and CEO of SAMMinistries, stated. “SAMMinistries is proud to be offering on-site services that will support residents in maintaining housing stability, because we know that takes more than just a roof over your head – it requires care, connection, and community."
Additional supportive services for all tenants residing at the apartment include a food pantry, recreational activities, on-site social events, and annual income tax preparation. Community amenities include a fitness center, business center, laundry facilities, a dog run, rooftop gathering space, bike storage and on-site parking.
“The 2017 Neighborhood Improvements Bond laid the foundation for investing in our backyards and neighborhoods,” said Veronica Garcia, Director for the City's Neighborhood and Housing Services Department. “Four25 San Pedro exemplifies the City’s commitment to supporting the creation of high-quality, affordable and supportive housing along transit, near jobs and key neighborhood amenities for our neighbors most in need.”
San Antonio voters approved $850 million for the 2017 – 2022 Bond Program on May 6, 2017. Of the $850 million, $20 million was designated for the 2017-2022 Neighborhood Improvements Bond, which resulted in the creation of 580 homes.
