# Opportunity Home San Antonio: choose a housing route

Sort out public housing, vouchers and other community options before you apply.

[How we check our information](/editorial-standards/). Before you apply, confirm application status and unit details with the property or agency.

## Start on the agency’s current website

Opportunity Home is the agency once known as the San Antonio Housing Authority (SAHA), and [its website](https://homesa.org/housing/find-a-home/) is where to start. Its housing programs aren’t interchangeable. [Public housing](https://homesa.org/housing/find-a-home/public-housing/) and [other housing options](https://homesa.org/housing/find-a-home/otherhousingoptions/) each have their own page, and vouchers are a separate route.

## One question that saves you a wasted application

We’d ask this before anything else: “For the unit I want, do I apply through your agency portal, directly to the property manager, or through an agency referral after selection?” Write down the answer next to the property name. Different organizations use RentCafe and MyHousing, so the software name alone doesn’t tell you which program you’re in.

## Keep your application active

Save your application confirmation, then check [your status and any request to confirm continued interest](https://homesa.org/housing/resident-programs/continuedinterest/). Keep your email and mailing address current. Mail that comes back undeliverable can cost you your place on a list. If a notice comes, go by the deadline on it, not a general estimate you saw on another website.

Before you accept an offer, ask how your rent is figured and what you’ll pay for utilities and deposits. Read the lease terms, and check that the unit has the features you need. Joining a list doesn’t mean the commute will work or that the unit meets your access needs. [Build a San Antonio search plan.](/san-antonio/)
