The conversation regarding homelessness in San Marcos continued after the city council held a work session Monday to discuss the issue, where councilmembers were presented with model-based solutions to figure out what would be most beneficial for the city.
“This is a community-wide issue, this is not an issue that just the city of San Marcos by ourselves can undertake,” City Manager Bert Lumbreras said. “It’s got to be very collaborative, it’s got to be working with many of our active partners and a lot of different people that have a heart and passion and certainly have resources to be able to lend to solve and address it city-wide.”
Previously, the council approved $400,000 from the American Rescue Plan funding to be allocated to transitional housing efforts. Councilmembers also approved an interlocal agreement with Texas State University to conduct a comprehensive needs assessment.
