After Soap Factory displacement, tenants at Robert E. Lee Apartments fear they're next
Housing activists and tenants from downtown's Soap Factory and Robert E. Lee apartments demonstrated outside of the offices of San Antonio's housing authority Wednesday morning to demand more affordable housing options. Outside the offices of Opportunity Home, the protest of about 20 demonstrators organized by housing advocacy group Pueblo over Profit demanded public input on future developments, more public housing, and rents capped at 30% of tenant income for housing voucher recipients. Organizers also demanded that folks living at the Soap Factory and Robert E. Lee apartments not be displaced.
