The Housing Assistance Program (HAP)* provides financial assistance to renters experiencing emergency hardships from COVID-19 and to keep families in their homes. To help with emergency housing needs, HAP has two components: rental assistance and relocation assistance for qualified households facing housing instability.
Applicants living in San Antonio or Bexar County may be eligible to receive up to three consecutive months (arrears and may include current and future) of rental assistance and utilities assistance, but the total amount of funds that will be provided to a household will be $3,500 maximum for rental assistance and $1,500 maximum for utility assistance. Applications are processed on a first-come, first-served basis and the priority will be to assist families facing evictions. Due to limited funds, if applicants received rental or relocation assistance from our programs within 12 months of applying, they will not be eligible for an additional award.
