A long-neglected area west of downtown could become a new district focused on affordable housing, services and working families, but planners say they want community input before the vision takes shape.

The San Antonio Housing Trust is working on a long-term plan for what it is calling "Project DC," or the "District of Cattleman." The area has deep roots in trade and commerce, including the cattle trade and the railroad, but now it is considered one of the city's most neglected communities.

According to Pete Alanis, the CEO of the San Antonio Housing Trust, 112 people experiencing homelessness are known to live in the small area.
