They say it BEST
" This type of housing Our Casas is building is direly needed as it renews a neighborhood and creates long-term economic benefit for the families to become homeowners. It also generates property taxes where before there was vacant land."
--Mari Sandoval-Ayala
LULAC District 15 Director
Update on Chavez Home: Framing of the home started the first week of November and should be completed within a week. It's incredible to see how an idea can grow into the American Dream for a homebuyer who will raise a family in the this home in the Westside of San Antonio within two blocks of Our Lady of the Lake University.

Our Casas is now taking applications from families or individuals interested in buying the 1390 square-foot home with three bedrooms and two baths that will be ready for a qualified first-time homeowner in the early part of next year. Since Our Casas uses federal funds to keep the price of the home affordable, the first-time homeowners need to have a family income that is 80% or less of the area's median income ( for a family of four this translates to an income of $59,300 or less). The family must still make enough money and have a credit score and other financial matters to qualify for a mortgage from a lender. If you feel that you qualify, please call Our Casas at 210 354 2400 or email us at ourcasas@stic.net or send a message via this website for more information and to start your application. Our Casas' HUD-certified housing counselor, Juan Gutierrez, can help you get your financial matters in order. Thanks to the City of San Antonio HOME program and the San Antonio Affordable Housing program for their financial support.
