– Earlier this month, the San Antonio Housing Authority Board of Commissioners decided that Opportunity Home San Antonio , the city’s public housing authority, needed a change at the top.“They made a mistake, and we’re very disappointed with them,” said Kayla Miranda, who lives in and is an advocate for public housing.
“They were shocked that a $1 past due went out as a notice to vacate, but that was their order,” Miranda said. “They specifically ordered anyone owing 13 months or more to get a notice to vacate.” “The board has a responsibility to stabilize the organization after discovering Mr. Hinojosa was not collecting rent from tenants the last few years,” the statement said. “It was Mr. Hinojosa’s sole decision to not collect rent, which led to some tenants accumulating nearly $30,000 in past due rent which put them at risk of eviction. This also has led to more than a $2 million loss of rental income which has contributed to the larger $18 million deficit organization-wide.
“The rescinding of the notices to vacate means that everyone is going to be automatically placed in a repayment agreement,” Reyes said. “And what we are going to ensure is those with high balances that repayment will not exceed 40% of income to make sure it’s sustainable.”
