The city of San Antonio will open its home rehabilitation application process Aug. 8-Sept. 19, offering funds to help qualified homeowners with major and minor repairs, such as foundation or structural concerns; roofing, electrical, plumbing, heating or cooling repairs; and water heater, window or door improvements.

According to a city news release, the city’s home rehab application process will also consider select residents to use money allocated through a $150 million housing proposition contained in the $1.2 billion city bond passed by voters in May.

The release said the San Antonio Neighborhood and Housing Services Department will spend the rest of August and September hosting 14 citywide outreach events to assist residents with application completion and submission.

City officials said one consolidated online application will let some San Antonio homeowners qualify for the city’s home rehabilitation programs, with residents selected on a scoring matrix prioritizing homes located in higher combined equity areas based on the city's equity atlas combined score as well as prioritizing seniors, disabled residents and homeowners who have lived in their homes for longer periods of time.

Residents who require aid are encouraged to attend one of the outreach events and bring required documents, including an identification card or driver’s license; a social security card; proof of income and/or employment; three months of bank statements; and a mortgage, loan or home equity statement, city officials said.



Upcoming community outreach events include 8:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m. Aug. 9 at the Southside Lions Senior Center, 3303 Pecan Valley Drive; 10 a.m.-7 p.m. Sept. 7 at the Central Library, 600 Soledad St.; and 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Sept. 16 at the Thousand Oaks Library, 4618 Thousand Oaks Drive.
