San Antonio's Opportunity Home launches rental assistance for those facing eviction

San Antonio public housing organization Opportunity Home has launched a new emergency rental assistance fund for families facing sudden economic hardship, officials said Monday. Word of the new program comes after MySA and KENS5 reported last month that more than 600 Opportunity Home tenants were facing eviction over unpaid rent. Those in Opportunity Home-owned properties who face unexpected economic hardship and \earn less than 30% of the area's median income can qualify for the assistance program.
