New federal spending package will keep San Antonio migrant center funded
Federal lawmakers' approval of a $1.2 trillion spending package over the weekend includes a lifeline for San Antonio's cash-strapped Migrant Resource Center, according to the San Antonio Report. The package includes $650 million for the Shelter and Services Program (SSP), a Federal Emergency Management Agency grant that funds the Migrant Resource Center and other facilities that assist migrants who have applied for asylum in the United States. Earlier this month, Mayor Ron Nirenberg warned the city was making emergency plans for the shelter after Senate Republicans killed off a bipartisan border security bill that would have extended its funding.
