Growth in specialized housing struggles to keep pace with city's removal of encampments
In its 2024 budget, the City of San Antonio plans to provide shelter for 400 individuals experiencing homelessness. At the same time, it also pledges to "clean up 700 encampments," meaning the displacement of more of the street population than it plans to shelter. There simply aren't enough beds for all those who will be displaced, and until there are, advocates for the unhoused say the sweeps are a pointless exercise in cruelty.
