Community Reinvestment

Affordable Showcase of Homes is a public/private partnership, which seeks to revitalize the inner-city, by increasing the number of affordable housing units.

Homebuyer's Club is a structured consumer education program, which covers the entire home buying process.

The Infill Housing program is designed to promote growth and development in the heart of the City, by providing incentives for, new development (housing and commercial) on vacant lots in previously developed areas, redevelopment of underused buildings and sites, rehabilitation, upgrade, adaptive reuse of existing buildings, improved maintenance of existing buildings and sites and business recruitment and assistance.

Tax Increment Financing (TIF) is a special funding tool used by the City of San Antonio to promote public and private investment in areas where little to no private sector investment is currently taking place. A portion of collected taxes are contributed to a fund that is used to help revitalize a designated area of town called a Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone (TIRZ). The funds are used to build and repair roads and infrastructure and rehabilitate historic facilities and existing vacant buildings.
