On January 21, advocates for people-centered public housing in San Antonio received incredible news: the San Antonio Housing Authority canceled their contract with mega-developer NRP Group to demolish and redevelop the largest public housing complex in San Antonio, the Alazán Courts. The plan would have displaced over 1,200 low-income residents and boosted the ongoing effort to gentrify San Antonio’s historic Westside.
The reversal is a sudden, unexpected victory for organizers who have struggled against privatization schemes for years. In addition, the CEO of SAHA resigned suddenly in a move that seems to be a result of the prolonged struggle.
