The funding package includes $650 million to reimburse cities for sheltering and transporting asylum seekers, of which San Antonio said it needs $57.5 million.
San Antonio's Migrant Resource Center, which had been in danger of running out of money next fall, got a lifeline when President Joe Biden on Saturday signed a $1.2 trillion funding package passed by Congress. The bill, which averted a partial government shutdown, opened up millions of dollars for San Antonio for migrant assistance. That could help the city keep the Centro de Bienvenida, commonly referred to as the Migrant Resource Center, open beyond September.
Asylum-seekers in San Antonio worried about Texas immigration law — and paying for travel San Antonio will have to apply for some of those program dollars. Nirenberg told Cuellar in December that the city needed $3 million for fiscal year 2024 and Catholic Charities of San Antonio — a religious nonprofit that handles the day-to-day operations of the Migrant Resource Center under contract with the city — requires $54.5 million.
