SAHA Ups Buyback Offer For Mirasol Homes

POSTED: Friday, July 11, 2008
UPDATED: 6:54 pm CDT July 11, 2008

Homeowners in the Mirasol Homes neighborhood are receiving increased offers from the San Antonio Housing Authority to buy back their homes.

SAHA has already spent about $5.5 million to decontaminate and repair more than 400 homes built by K-B Homes, but the authority's Board of Commissioners voted Thursday evening to increase the city's buyback offer to $30,000 per home, about $5,000 more than its previous offers.

"It's a better offer, but I still think SAHA could do better," homeowner Randy Zaragosa said.

Zaragosa has owned his home for seven years, but his family had to move out more than a year ago while workers cleaned up the contamination in his home's air conditioning unit.

Others in the neighborhood complain SAHA's new offer isn't taking into account their lease-to-buy program or those who rented the homes. Some of those affected have said SAHA has not addressed their complaints of health problems.
