Permanent supportive housing is housing for chronically homeless individuals that does not come with preconditions — such as sobriety or medication — and is paired with support services such as mental and physical health care, food and case management. “I look at an investment like this not just as an investment in raw housing,” Mayor Ron Nirenberg said. “It’s an investment in public safety, it’s an investment in our quality of life, it’s an investment in our community wellness and health.”
Housing First Community Coalition is slated to receive $12 million for the second phase of its Towne Twin Village campus on the East Side, which is San Antonio’s. SAMMinistries would receive $4.25 million to renovate The Hudson Apartments on the North Side and $15 million for The Commons at Acequia Trails on the Southeast side. The Hudson and Commons at Acequia will also be single-site permanent supportive housing, meaning services are co-located with housing.
