Staff described the city’s homelessness system as a coordinated network involving nonprofit providers, shelter operators and city departments, and presented a point‑in‑time style count and year‑to‑year trends. The presentation reported that San Antonio’s homeless count in the referenced year was 3,362 and noted a 6.8 percent increase from the prior year; staff compared local trends with larger increases in some peer cities, including Houston and Fort Worth.

The report summarized expenditures and planned budget items: staff said the city’s FY24 homelessness budget was about $33 million, with approximately half coming from the general fund. Staff also referenced additional allocations that, when combined with partner spending and targeted program funds, resulted in higher totals discussed in the presentation (staff cited figures that included $20 million distributed for public safety‑adjacent services and a combined total figure of about $48 million when other sources were included). The report identified a $32 million strategic housing plan line item and described grant and contract spending across shelter operations, outreach and rapid rehousing.

Staff described program results and pilots: a nurse‑led pilot launched in May placed people into care settings; rapid‑response outreach and voucher use connected families to housing (staff reported 90 families served quickly through a partner program); more than 2,000 people were referred to shelter or housing placements in the reporting period and a total system count of about 4,500 service episodes was cited. The presenter also described judicial partnerships that offer alternatives to fines and coordination with Haven for Hope and other providers.

Councilmembers asked for clarification on how many households the city helped avoid eviction and stay housed; one councilmember asked staff to provide that data in a follow‑up memo. Members asked about the county’s contributions and interjurisdictional pilots, motel usage in southern and western neighborhoods, capacity limits at shelters and how the city is coordinating with Haven for Hope and county programs. Several members expressed interest in a fuller briefing to the full council (a “Session B”) and asked staff for more detailed budget breakdowns.

The council moved the homelessness item to a follow‑up Session B meeting for more detailed questions and for staff to provide additional data; the chair set that follow‑up for Feb. 26. Staff said they would supply the requested clarifications after the meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","San Antonio - Planning and Community Development Committee Spanish - Feb 07, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","City staff presented the first annual report on homelessness response, reviewed trends and investments for FY24, and described pilot programs and partnerships.

The presentation described the Terrea Cholo site as southeast of the Loop 410 interchange, within Council District 3 and Senate District 21. Staff said the development proposal would include single‑family and multifamily housing, commercial and industrial areas, business parks, and open‑space corridors. Staff reported a total development cost of $1.2 billion and said the developer reimbursement cap tied to the reinvestment structure would be $156 million.

Staff described additional details of the financing: a 25‑year participation period, a 70 percent participation rate for tax increment, a 3 percent annual growth assumption and a 98.5 percent collection rate. The presentation also said the developer would donate 50 acres to the San Antonio housing trust as part of the project and that the proposal aligns with city policies encouraging development in underutilized areas.

Councilmembers asked questions about whether infrastructure would extend beyond the project to serve adjacent neighborhoods, drainage and water infrastructure in South San Antonio, and coordination with local school officials. One councilmember noted that school closures and enrollment trends make family housing patterns a point of concern and said staff should continue coordination with the school district. Another asked for assurances that the city would recover its investment and sought clarification about tax reductions within the reinvestment area; staff replied with the 70 percent participation figure and described that reinvested portion returning to the developer for infrastructure costs.

Staff recommended referral of the annexation and proposed reinvestment increment to the Community Development and Planning Committee and the City Council for annexation and TIRSO creation. The committee proceeded with a voice vote; the chair announced the motion passed on a voice vote with no recorded roll call.

The committee also approved the Jan. 23 minutes earlier in the meeting by voice vote.

Next steps noted during the presentation included continued coordination on infrastructure timing (water, drainage, north–south and east–west arterials), alignment with the city’s TIF/TIRSO policy and additional outreach to the Housing Trust and the school district as the project moves through formal review.","City staff presented a proposal to annex about 1,854 acres in southeast San Antonio for a mixed‑use development financed in part by a 25‑year tax‑increment reinvestment structure; councilmembers asked about infrastructure, schools and affordable housing. The committee voted to refer the proposal onward.","actionData","errors"]
