Everyone Needs a Home: A One- Day Housing Summit

The housing crisis touches every corner of San Antonio. From young families searching for their first home to longtime residents facing displacement, housing security has become one of our city’s most pressing challenges. Understanding these challenges—and finding solutions—requires all of us.

The Story of Our City’s Housing Crisis

In San Antonio today, a single mother waits years for public housing while raising her daughter. Longtime residents watch their neighborhoods transform as investors snap up over 40% of local homes. Families face impossible choices between paying rent or buying groceries. Meanwhile, our city’s development patterns, shaped by historical policies and current market forces, continue to impact who can afford to live where. From downtown to the expanding edges of our city, these aren’t just housing statistics – they’re our neighbors’ stories. As one resident put it, “We’re trying to live our dreams. We’re trying to have a home.” This summit brings these crucial conversations into focus, moving from understanding to action.
