Los Arcos at VIDA highlights how San Antonio uses federal HOME and CDBG funds to create high-quality affordable housing, but proposed federal cuts to these programs threaten future projects. City officials and developers warn that without this critical gap funding, hundreds of affordable units and essential services could be lost. While local housing bonds help, leaders stress they can’t replace federal support. Ongoing budget talks in Congress show uncertainty, especially for the HOME program, prompting strong advocacy to preserve both funding streams.
