San Antonio Community Resource Directory (SACRD)

SACRD.org is a free, easy-to-use directory of over 11,000 local resources. SACRD connects Bexar County residents with housing, food, healthcare, job assistance and more.   

• Free & Anonymous – no login required  
• Easy search – use keywords, browse categories, or explore guided portals  
• Trusted Partners – Supported by the City of San Antonio & community organizations  

We offer training sessions (about 1 hour) to help users find the right services. Sessions can cover specific needs like housing assistance, utilities, food access, and more.   

SACRD.org thrives through partnerships. We want to work together to expand access to important resources with individuals, businesses and community groups.
