City council approves increased funding for mental health program

SAN MARCOS CITY COUNCIL

The San Marcos City Council voted unanimously to approve an increase in funding with use of American Rescue Plan Act funds from $99,000 to $150,000 for Sunrise Rehab & Recovery, dba Evoke Wellness San Marcos, at the regularly scheduled meeting. The organization provides a substance use treatment program for qualified adults identified through the San Marcos Police Department Mental Health Diversion program.

San Marcos City Council Member Amanda Rodriguez said she was hoping that a representative with Evoke Wellness would be available to answer questions about the scope of services, adding that she felt the agenda packet was lacking that information.
