About Westway

Westway is an Opportunity Home community of about 203 homes near Ingram Road on San Antonio's West/Northwest Side. Rent is income-based, set at about 30% of adjusted household income.

How to apply

1. Apply through homesa.org when the public housing or Housing Choice Voucher waitlist is open
2. Waitlists open and close periodically and some stay closed for long periods — check current status
3. You can indicate community preferences; Westway may be available
4. When a matching unit is available, Opportunity Home contacts you for an eligibility review and an offer

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

The West/Northwest Side of San Antonio is served by VIA Metropolitan Transit bus routes with connections toward downtown.
