SAN ANTONIO – The city of San Antonio is helping qualified homeowners with major and minor repairs to their homes through a Home Rehab program.
Funding can be used for foundation/structural concerns, roofing, electrical, plumbing, heating, and/or cooling repairs, water heater, and window or door improvements.
Applications can be submitted Aug. 8 through Sept. 19.
This year’s program is utilizing a portion of the $45 million allocated to homeowner rehabilitation projects from the historic $1.2 billion 2022-2027 bond that was approved by voters on May 7.
