🏡 June is National Homeownership Month, a time to reflect on what home means in our lives and the barriers many families face in achieving it.

A 2025 Bexar County Housing Survey conducted by Emerson College Polling and commissioned by LISC San Antonio found that 53% of Bexar County residents believe cost is the biggest barrier to homeownership. 68% said they aspire to become homeowners, but only 51% believe homeownership is attainable for most people today.

At Merced Housing Texas, we know that homeownership is about more than buying a house. It’s about stability, dignity, generational opportunity, and having a place where families can thrive. That’s why we continue working to preserve housing and support homeowners.
