San Antonio Metropolitan Ministries has been on the front line of homeless intervention...
At last count, there were close to 3,000 homeless people in San Antonio. Chronic homelessness, involving those with 12 accumulated months of living on the streets, has increased by 77 percent since 2020. Shelters are overflowing. Resources are stretched. Everyone agrees something must be done.
We share those frustrations. We know firsthand that the work to end homelessness is difficult because the face of homelessness has changed. Our shelter has a waitlist, and the needs of families and young adults between 18 and 24 are overwhelming.In December 2021, the San Antonio City Council approved the Strategic Housing Implementation Plan, or SHIP, with a 10-year target of meeting the city’s housing needs. Then in May, voters approved a $150 million first-of-its-kind housing bond.
The next step in our city’s campaign against homelessness is $25 million designated for Permanent Supportive Housing, or PSH, as part of the 2023 housing bond. SAMMinistries is ready to meet the need by offering shelter and support with dignity and compassion.
