Outreach workers talk with a man in a tent in downtown San Antonio
Kenny Wilson, CEO of San Antonio’s largest homeless shelter, now knows how much water it takes to flush a toilet at his facility, about 5 gallons. He knows because since Monday, Haven For Hope has lacked nearly all its running water. And staff have been using common hardware store buckets en masse to keep up with the bathroom needs of their 1,500 clients.
“We weren’t even sure we could flush them without the water working, but out of desperation, we tried,” Wilson said.
These aren’t the garden-variety residential toilets. Those would take about a gallon, Wilson said.
Even as the snow fell and the temperatures dropped even lower, Valerie Salas was among a small army of outreach workers still out there trying to convince the homeless in San Antonio to seek shelter.
