HOME OWNERSHIP PROGRAMS

The SBHA is dedicated in promoting home ownership in our community.  It offers several programs such as the Homebuyer Assistance (HBA) and the SBHA’s Home Construction Program.

HOMEBUYER ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (HBA)

The HBA program provides eligible households of up to 80% AMI with assistance of down payment and closing costs of up to $20,000 for the purchase of a home in the City of San Benito.  Certain income, third party financing, affordability and program requirements apply.

Currently, we are NOT accepting applications as program is subject to TDHCA funding availability. Please visit our website regularly for updates on the availability of funds.

HOME CONSTRUCTION PROGRAM

Through the Home Construction Program, created and funded by the SBHA, the housing authority has built new homes in scattered sites owned by the SBHA throughout the City of San Benito. Currently the SBHA is working on completing five (5) new homes that will be available to households whose income does not exceed 80% AMI.  This program, as the others, has income, third party financing, affordability and other program requirements.  We will be updating our website with more information on these five homes soon.  Please visit our website regularly for updates on the availability of these homes and the pre-application process.
