Though the number of asylum seekers has plummeted in the past two months, the City of San Antonio could end up leaving its Migrant Resource Center open through the end of the year.
The San Antonio City Council voted 10-0 on Thursday to allow city staff to seek another $6.5 million in federal reimbursement to cover its share of the costs for the MRC, which Catholic Charities operates, from May through December. The center has been in operation for eight months so far.
It’s not clear if the the city will keep the MRC in the 7000 block of San Pedro open the rest of the year, close it earlier, or keep it open longer. “As long as there’s a surge of migrants coming across the border, then we need to be prepared to help them and assist them to travel through San Antonio on the way to their destinations,” Human Services Director Melody Woosley said following the vote.
