City Council unanimously approved the historic investment Thursday for three housing sites that will include services for those experiencing homelessness.
Local nonprofit SAMMinistries will receive over $4 million to renovate The Hudson Apartments into permanent supportive housing for San Antonio's homeless population.San Antonio City Council unanimously approved a historic investment Thursday of more than $31 million for three single-site permanent supportive housing projects.
“This is what the infrastructure of a city looks like when it’s built on the principle of compassion,” Mayor Ron Nirenberg said before the council approved the funding without discussion. Combined, the projects approved Thursday will provide 288 units of housing for people experiencing homelessness. The funding comes through a combination of 2022 municipal bond and federal funding from the City of San Antonio and Bexar County.
After reviewing five applications, a scoring committee comprised of city, county and other agency stakeholders recommended three projects receive funding. The remaining $11 million of this funding will be allocated through another competitive bidding process later this year, bringing the total investment to nearly $43 million.
