 San Antonio Under 1 Roof pilot program early this summer.

"When I qualified, they fixed the roof. Whatever boards were rotten, they replaced them," Hernandez said.

He won't know the full effect on his electricity bill until a few months from now, but he and his wife can already feel the difference in the temperature. The new, white shingles absorb far less heat than darker ones and work to reflect heat away from the roof.

"We know that the house is cooler than it used to be. We feel it when we come in," he said. Of the four air conditioning units he was running, he has already gotten rid of one.

Down the street from Hernandez's home, 72-year-old David Allen White is also a disabled veteran. In his case, air conditioning wasn't the problem. He was dealing with a persistent leak problem with his roof.

"I had it fixed a couple of times," White said. "(The repairman) found some loose shingles and replaced them. Then it developed a leak again."

White was told by the same repairman that the problem wouldn't be fixed until the elevation of the roof was raised. He quoted $10,000 for the job.

"The roof was too flat and he wanted to make it higher." he said. "I said 'I don't have $10,000.' I talked to this other guy who came out and said he could fix the problem for $35."

White paid him and it worked for a while. Then the leak came back.

After taking advantage of the Under 1 Roof program, he hasn't seen any leaks, despite the recent rain.

The Under 1 Roof program in District 1 has replaced 11 roofs so far for disadvantaged homeowners in the Central Los Angeles Heights, Northmoor, and Edison neighborhoods. This includes people over the age of 65, veterans, those making less than the median household income, and people with disabilities.

The program not only fixes problems with home temperatures and water leaks, Treviño told the Rivard Report, it also helps solve larger problems.
