San Antonio, as this report will show, is beginning to experience more severe affordable housing problems than in the past. An evolving affordability crisis is impacting the city’s residents through limited access to housing, higher property taxes, gentrifying neighborhoods, and direct or indirect displacement. The problems are complicated by San Antonio’s high poverty rate, historical racial and economic segregation and aging affordable housing stock. When combined with population growth of an additional one million people by 2040 and declining new home production, today’s affordability challenges are anticipated to worsen exponentially if proactive interventions are not made. The Mayor’s Housing Policy Task Force (MHPTF) was created to recommend how the City should provide this proactive intervention through comprehensive housing policies and strategies. The MHPTF adopted a series of values grounded in a process that ensured transparency and accountability in decision-making and one in which the conclusions were data-driven.
