From DrAdrianaD4: Residents are falsely being led to worry about affordable housing units being built in their backyards, when in reality San Antonio is experiencing a push for diversification of access to homes.
Tents housing individuals experiencing homelessness under the I-37 underpass near Brooklyn Avenue just east of downtown.I recently traveled to Washington, D.C., to attend the National League of Cities Congressional Conference with my colleagues Councilwoman Phylis Viagran and Councilman Clayton Perry. It was my first time traveling out of state since the start of the pandemic, and I wanted to take pictures to look back at later.
A few weeks later, as I took an extended weekend for spring break in Seattle, I arrived quite early, and this time, I did not miss one single encampment from the moment I left the airport. And there were many more than in D.C. — under bridges and on grassy knolls, next to buildings and underpasses connecting highways.
The housing bond as proposed dedicates $25 million to the construction of housing that includes supportive services to folks in the system who may otherwise not be able to live alone. To help residents who might be at risk of losing their homes, $45 million is dedicated to helping repair existing single-family housing.
But residents are falsely being led to worry about affordable housing units being built in their backyards, when in reality San Antonio is experiencing a push for diversification of access to homes, as is evident in the move toward a mixed-income housing model.As president of the San Antonio Housing Trust and Public Finance Corporation, I take great responsibility for making sure we produce housing at a pace that is needed to keep up with our growth.
