## Who Opportunity Home Is

Opportunity Home San Antonio is the local Public Housing Authority (PHA), formerly known as SAHA. They run:

-   Public housing communities across San Antonio
-   Housing Choice Voucher program
-   Mixed-finance developments with LIHTC or other funding
-   Various homeownership and supportive programs

The rename from SAHA to Opportunity Home doesn’t change the underlying programs; the organization is the same.

## Community Types in the Portfolio

**Public housing**: rent set as ~30% of adjusted gross income. Government-owned.

**Mixed-income developments**: newer communities with a blend of subsidized, LIHTC-restricted, and market-rate units in the same building. Rent depends on the specific unit’s classification.

**RAD-converted communities**: former public housing now under project-based Section 8 or LIHTC financing. Rent structure varies.

## How to Apply

Direct application through Opportunity Home. Waitlists open with announced windows. Preferences (veteran, disability, elderly, homelessness, local resident) can move you up.

We recommend applying in parallel to LIHTC communities that aren’t Opportunity Home-managed, so you have a faster path.
