SAHA Residents Access to Affordable Utilities

Utilities are indispensable elements of quality housing, whether through providing basic necessities or improving quality of life. Utilities provide heating and cooling, home cooked meals, hygiene, and ever increasingly- access to information, education, and employment. The difference between an individual’s success or failure in their efforts can be access to these basic utilities. In today’s session, we aim to explore SAHA 2025’s outcome on how to best expand access to utilities to the SAHA community at large.

Increasing Affordable Housing Options in SA

Today the demand for housing affordable to low-income households in San Antonio vastly outstrips supply. This imbalance varies significantly by area, and there are entire neighborhoods without homes that are affordable to low-income households. The situation is getting worse as rents and home prices steadily rise while incomes stagnate. This creates serious equity problems in the region, and impacts the health, education, and employment outcomes of individuals and families. We will conclude this meeting with our path forward in providing quality affordable housing to all those who need it.

SAHA Residents Access to Food, Water and Clothing

The pandemic has highlighted the challenges SAHA residents face daily regarding food insecurity. Food insecurity isn’t only the lack of money to purchase food. It also includes geographic locations and food hubs, access to healthy food options, and the variety and options of food available. In this meeting we hope to address some of the largest causes of food insecurity for SAHA residents, and possible solutions and partnerships.
