The nonprofit agency tasked with coordinating San Antonio and Bexar County's homelessness response system has a new name: Close to Home.
Close to Home's Executive Director Katie Vela Wilson announces the nonprofit agency's new name on Wednesday morning at Mi Tierra.South Alamo Regional Alliance for the Homeless, the nonprofit agency tasked with coordinating San Antonio and Bexar County’s homelessness response system, has a new name:
“The hard work continues,” Nirenberg added. “Close to Home and the Alliance will be working together on implementing new solutions to address unsheltered homelessness, preventing homelessness for families, and continuing the work to expand housing options for people experiencing homelessness in desperate need.”
It’s been an emotional few months inside the Close to Home office since Billy Mahone III, the nonprofit’s senior director of strategic planning and partnerships, died suddenly in July.The board will also be incorporating Mahone’s “all-in” approach to service and advocacy into its core values later this year, she said.
“You can’t reduce homelessness without having housing available that people can move into … that’s part of the bottleneck that we’re seeing,” Wilson said. “We need our best thinkers and our business leaders and the whole community to engage with this higher level discussion so that we don’t end up at a crisis point like a lot of other major cities have.”
