SAN ANTONIO – San Antonio District 1 Councilman Roberto Treviño spent Thursday night at his field office, prepared to stop an abatement that would displace homeless people who have camped on the property.
“We don’t want the city to criminalize homelessness,” Treviño said. “We’re trying to help people.”
City crews, however, never showed up on Friday to sweep the field office, located on Vance Jackson Road near the Westfall Library.
Westport DHS Accepting Donations for Westport Warm Up Fund Written by Town of Westport
The Department of Human Services (DHS) is currently accepting donations for the Westport Warm-Up Fund to help residents in need to heat their homes this winter.
According to Human Services Finance Manager Susan Stefenson, the COVID-19 pandemic has increased the need for additional assistance for many Westport households.
“This winter will be particularly challenging for households facing unstable employment, food insecurity, and financial vulnerability,” said Stefenson. “Last season, community donations helped over 250 residents to warm their homes during a relatively mild winter. Unfortunately, the number of households in need is growing due to the pandemic.”
