San Antonio Homeowner
Welcomed to Her New Home
|
|
Through TSAHC’s ACT program, Maria DeLeon was able to purchase a brand-new 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom home located three miles west of downtown San Antonio and just 15 minutes from her work.
TSAHC partnered with Greenboro Homes to construct the home and used funding from Texas Community Bank to keep the price affordable, even as home prices continue to increase. To welcome Ms. DeLeon to her new home, Texas Community Bank also provided a stipend to help cover her internet expenses.
Ms. DeLeon is thankful for her new home and looking forward to completing her first home project – landscaping and planting flowers in the front yard.

Understanding Fair Housing Month |
April 11th will mark the fifty-fifth anniversary of President Lyndon B. Johnson signing the Fair Housing Act into law.
This landmark piece of legislation, formerly known as Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968, expanded upon the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and secured protections against housing discrimination based on race, religion, national origin, disability, and family status. More than that, it protects Americans’ right to rent or buy a home, obtain a mortgage, and/or purchase home insurance.
