New Rehabilitation Programs for Historic Preservation

The Office of Historic Preservation is pleased to announce two exciting new programs for historic properties. The first is an Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation Loan Program, which is offered in partnership with the City's Housing and Neighborhood Services Department, to help low to moderate-income historic property owners. The purpose of this program is to promote and encourage the retention, preservation and restoration of locally-designated historic homes. The program will assist property owners with their restoration and rehabilitation projects through a combination of loans and grants. Some requirements include:

Property must be located within the City limits;
Structure must be an owner-occupied, residential building;
Property must be located within a local historic district, designated as a local landmark, or eligible for historic designation; and
Program income limits apply.

The second program is an Acquisition/Rehabilitation/Resale Revolving Fund. The Office of Historic Preservation is partnering with the San Antonio Conservation Society and Merced Housing Texas for this initiative. The purpose of the program is to purchase and rehabilitate locally-designated historic homes in order to combat the deterioration of historic housing stock and the erosion of neighborhood fabric that occurs when properties are demolished.

The application and brochure for the Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation Loan Program, along with the complete list of eligibility requirements, are available at the links below or may be picked up in person at our office at 1901 S. Alamo. For additional information, please contact the Office of Historic Preservation at 215-9274.
