New downtown homeless resource hub to provide a range of essential services to community members
San Antonio – The City of San Antonio’s homeless downtown resource hub is moving to the new Corazon Day Center and Resource Hub.
The hub will now be located at 504 Avenue E on the campus of Grace Lutheran Church.
“The city as an entity can’t address homelessness by ourself. And the fact that community partners, such as Corazon San Antonio, has stepped up to take this on more long term that’s what it’s about,” said Morjoriee White, the homeless administrator for the City of San Antonio’s Department of Human Services.

“Now we hold our street clinic on this side of town out of the field office, which is really luxurious for us to have a setup and stuff like this,” said Maria Turvin, sitting behind a folding table covered in portable meals and personal hygiene products just inside the garage door of the field office for San Antonio City Council District 1.
City of San Antonio in implementation phase of 5-year strategic plan to fight homelessness
SAN ANTONIO – The City of San Antonio is now in its implementation phase of a five-year strategic plan to take on homelessness issues.
“We didn’t develop this on our own. It was community-driven from day one with community input meetings,” said Morjoriee White, the homeless administrator for the City of San Antonio’s Department of Human Services.
The strategic plan was developed by California-based nonprofit Homebase and presented last year.
White said one of the main recommendations of the plan was enhancing and expanding homeless street outreach. She said the city has been working to bring on a new team within the homeless division.
