Housing Assistance

Alamo Colleges partners with Opportunity Home - San Antonio (formerly San Antonio Housing Authority) to assist students in obtaining affordable housing. The current waitlist for housing in San Antonio is five to seven years; however, through the college, if eligible, this referral program can help students secure housing within three to six months.

The information you provide will be sent to the Student Advocacy Case Manager at your home institution. Please wait 7 - 10 days for a response.  
Are you receiving any kind of government assistance, veteran benefits, aged out of foster care or McKinney-Vento eligible?
