The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act) was signed into law by President Obama on February 17th, 2009.  The Recovery Act includes $4 billion, administered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), for capital improvement projects at public housing properties.  On February 29, 2009, HUD allocated $3 billion of the Recovery Act funds to local and state recipients. Out of 349 Texas housing authorities receiving Recovery Act funds on February 29, 2009, the San Antonio Housing Authority (SAHA) received the highest amount, $14.5 million, to be used solely for public housing capital improvements. SAHA conducted a thorough review of the capital needs of the agency’s public housing properties, and established priorities for the allocation of Recovery Act funds, based on physical needs relating to life safety, health risk, property repair and energy efficiency. On June 4, 2009, the SAHA Board of Commissioners approved the agency’s plan to invest the $14.5 million in federal stimulus funds to repair and upgrade many of San Antonio’s public housing properties. The plan includes:

1. Comprehensive modernization improvements to Lewis Chatham Apartments, a 119-unit senior community located at 6405 S. Flores on the City’s South Side;

2. Upgrades to elevator, fire alarm and security systems at nearly 20 elderly communities throughout San Antonio, and at the Convent, an historical structure in SAHA’s Springview community.

3. Safety and sustainability repairs and improvements to playgrounds at twelve public housing family communities throughout the City; and

    Then, on September 23, 2009, HUD announced the last of the funding awards in the competitive round of Recovery Act grants, and the San Antonio Housing Authority (SAHA) was awarded another $5,350,593 for capital improvements to 13 communities serving the elderly and persons with disabilities. This new award brought SAHA’s total Recovery Act funding to nearly $20 million. This $5.35 million funding award will enable SAHA to further its efforts to improve the quality of life of seniors and persons with disabilities. These funds will specifically go to improve or modify existing public housing communities to make them fully accessible and to create a more comfortable, accessible and air-conditioned environment that encourages socialization among the residents of these communities. The funds will also go to providing additional space for agencies whose services are targeted to the elderly and/or persons with disabilities. These funds will also bring additional benefits to our community in the form of new jobs and the preservation of existing jobs.  The second round of funding will go towards improvements to the following communities for elderly and disabled persons:
4. Various site and systems repairs and replacements, including windows, roofing, fencing, cabinets and HVAC systems.

     As contractors are procured to perform Recovery Act work, SAHA will strongly encourage participation of small and minority-owned businesses, with additional weight given to contractors that commit to actively recruiting employees from the neighborhoods in and around where this work will occur. SAHA plans to issue additional requests for proposals for companies to bid on the construction portion of the projects. Interested firms can contact SAHA’s Procurement Office at 210-477-6059 or visit www.saha.org. The Recovery Act has established specific accountability, transparency and reporting requirements. SAHA is committed to meeting the performance metrics related to these requirements, and is focused on ensuring that these public funds are expended responsibly and expeditiously on projects that meet the asset preservation and job creation goals of the Recovery Act.
