SAN ANTONIO – The City of San Antonio is on track to spend all of its $270 million in coronavirus relief funds by a Dec. 30 deadline.
One of the most high-profile uses of that money, and other funding sources, is the city’s Emergency Housing Assistance Program (EHAP), which helps struggling residents pay their rent, mortgage and other bills. As of Wednesday, $64.8 million had been approved through the program, and city staff members have plans to keep it funded into March.
