Codemore Huchuchu addresses concerns on young adult housing program in San Antonio

The San Antonio Zoning Commission meeting on September 2, 2025, featured a significant discussion regarding a proposed housing program aimed at supporting young adults transitioning out of the foster care system. The proposal, presented by Codemore Huchuchu, emphasized the need for additional housing options for this demographic, which is often overlooked.

Huchuchu clarified that the program is not intended for individuals with criminal backgrounds but rather for young adults who require stable living conditions. The plan includes accommodating two additional residents in a home that already meets city regulations, which stipulate that each resident must have at least 50 square feet of living space. Huchuchu argued that the existing structure could be modified to provide adequate space and support for these young adults.

Key features of the proposal include on-site staff supervision, strict adherence to program rules, and a 24-hour response system for neighbors to voice concerns. Huchuchu assured attendees that there would be designated quiet hours to minimize disturbances and that the program would be closely monitored to ensure compliance with regulations.

The discussion also addressed community concerns about potential criminal activity associated with the program. Huchuchu reassured residents that the young adults involved would be held accountable and that the program aims to provide a supportive environment for their growth and development.

In conclusion, the meeting highlighted the ongoing efforts to create supportive housing solutions for vulnerable populations in San Antonio. The proposal will be further evaluated as the commission considers the community's feedback and the potential impact on the neighborhood.
