The Lincoln Heights Courts were built in 1940 to provide housing for families that live in the San Antonio area. The facility is comprised of one- and two-story buildings. The homes are located in the San Antonio Independent School district with six public schools nearby. School bus routes are available to assist working parents who need their children to ride the public school buses. SAHA offers many after-school programs for children who live at Lincoln Heights. SAHA also offers the Family Self-Sufficiency program to assist families in educational training and assisting residents in becoming gainfully employed. Free WI-FY is offered in the community room. Reasonable accommodations are made for family pets. All San Antonio Housing Authority facilities are non-smoking.
This property is funded through HUD’s Public Housing program. These properties are typically owned and managed by a Public Housing Authority. These properties tend to be much older, as no new public housing has been built in many years. Since the Federal budget has historically (and notoriously) underfunded public housing renovations for decades, these properties tend to have higher vacancies due to uninhabitable units or liveable units that are in poor condition. In addition, since all public housing properties offer rent subsidies, low-income residents only pay rent based on their incomes. For that reason, these properties tend to have longer waiting lists. Check our public housing waiting list data for more information. Since Lincoln Heights Courts participates in the Public Housing program and has a property based subsidy, if you have a Section 8 voucher, you would have to give up your voucher to move in.
