In 2003, Opportunity Home (formerly San Antonio Housing Authority - SAHA) received $18.7 million from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development HOPE VI Program to demolish all 660 public housing units at Victoria Courts and lead a major revitalization with a mix of public housing affordable and market rate units, rental and homeownership opportunities. Opportunity Homes partnered with master developer Catellus Development Corporation to complete the redevelopment, approved on Sept. 5, 2019.

The Southtown Community Garden (SCG) is located in the traffic island at Sadie, Eager, and S. Presa Streets (1002 S. Presa).

Originally launched in 2007, the SCG was overseen by a resident in affiliation with the City of San Antonio. The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the City expired in spring 2022 and is now restricted to neighborhood association participation (no private signees). The LNA is unable to assume this responsibility due to legal and logistical constraints, but has advocated for the City to allow another suitable Lavaca neighborhood partner to run the garden or for the City to maintain this parcel as a clean, safe, and beautiful pocket park.
