San Antonio officials estimate the city has assisted more than 300,000 migrants since January 2021.
in July to help alleviate the crowds of migrants awaiting transportation at the airport, bus station and downtown in Travis Park.
“We executed a 10-year lease for the building, but in that lease, we have a 30-day out,” Assistant City Manager Lori Houston told City Council. “… If we provide that 30-day notice, we can terminate the lease.” “We have been completely reimbursed … within a couple hundred bucks” through June of 2022,” Walsh said.
The EFSP grant was created to help border communities pay for helping migrants. It’s been under strain since Gov. Greg Abbott and other elected officials started transporting migrants to other cities, whose leaders have also requested reimbursement from the grant’s limited funds.
