– San Antonio’s city-funded low-barrier homeless shelter will move to a larger, leased hotel downtown with more than four times as many rooms.
According to the city, the shelter has served 329 people. SAMM President and CEO Nikisha Baker says they stay an average of about 108 days. “We were originally thinking we would probably find another 70- to 80-room motel. And so this actually creates about 70 more rooms than we anticipated during the budget process for the same for the same dollars,” Woosley said.
Baker said they are already working to hire more case managers. She expects it could take three to four months before they can reach total capacity as they phase people in.
