"Rose Lathan, 65, moved into an apartment at one of those complexes, Vista at Silver Oaks, early last year. Opportunity Home San Antonio, Atlantic Pacific Cos. and OCI Development built the 76-unit, $29.3 million property with $3.3 million from the bond.

Lathan, who was injured in a car accident and now receives disability assistance, said she relocated to San Antonio from a rural community north of Austin in search of better medical care. She said she found Vista at Silver Oaks while searching for apartments online and was thrilled when her application for a Vista unit was accepted.

She said she appreciates the newness, cleanliness and safety of the complex, a big improvement over other places she’s lived. Lathan frequently takes long walks around the property and visits a city senior center about two miles away.

“I love it here,” Lathan said."

Always a great day when family stops by! We loved having Tio George Velasquez visit the office. Over 17 years ago, he served as a crucial advisor to our founders. The incredible work and legacy built by him and his wife, Andrea Velasquez, have always been a huge inspiration to us, and we strive to honor their example every single day. So great to see you! 🏢💙

At OCI Group, our work has always been rooted in social purpose and strengthening communities rather than harming them. We stand in solidarity with the individuals, families, schools, and communities calling for the dignity, safety, and humane treatment of immigrants.

We encourage coordination with legal and nonprofit partners and elected leaders to ensure accurate, helpful information reaches those who need it. Here are some trusted organizations doing critical work right now, particularly in Minnesota:

1. The Immigrant Rapid Response Fund has been established by a coalition of philanthropic leaders. They will be distributing funds in a thoughtful way to meet the evolving needs of our community. This fund is supporting basic needs, legal services, and organizing. 🔗 https://www.wfmn.org/funds/immigrant-rapid-response/

2. The Emergency Student Connectivity Fund is a fund that has launched to help schools that serve immigrant communities transition to virtual learning. These schools are seeing attendance drop precipitously, and have an urgent need to establish infrastructure to stay connected with students who are (understandably) afraid to come to school. 🔗 https://greatmnschools.org/emergency-student-connectivity-fund/

3. Stand with Minnesota is a landing page that has compiled many of the organizations that are raising resources right now to meet the diverse and significant needs of our community. 🔗 https://www.standwithminnesota.com/

For our San Antonio community, please stay informed and share this guidance on how to safely and legally report ICE activity:

And remember to check on your family members, friends, neighbors, and colleagues, as we all navigate this difficult time in our nation.
