How to apply

Rent is about 30% of adjusted household income — there is no flat market rent.

Your rights

Texas has no source-of-income protection, and a 2015 state law (Local Government Code § 250.007) bars Texas cities from requiring landlords to accept Housing Choice Vouchers — so a private landlord may legally decline your voucher. Federal Fair Housing protections still apply: a landlord may not refuse you based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status, or disability.

Neighborhood

San Antonio's South Side is served by VIA Metropolitan Transit bus routes with connections to downtown.

For current waitlist information, call Opportunity Home at (210) 477-6000 or visit homesa.org. Applications are free.
