The San Antonio City Council is using $1.5 million in federal pandemic relief funds to aid groups that help immigrants become citizens.
Credit:The City of San Antonio will dole out $1.5 million of its federally allocated pandemic relief funds to nonprofits that aid immigrants seeking U.S. citizenship.
Many of those people were not eligible for other forms of financial support the government provided throughout the pandemic, she said. In a nod to the city’s vastly different approach from the state, Perry, the council’s lone conservative, said he opposed Thursday’s proposal because he believed the money would be better used helping small businesses that were hurt by the pandemic.
When the City Council set a framework for spending some of that money earlier this year, Councilwoman Ana Sandoval pushed for nonprofits to receive $4 million of it. Thursday’s proposal to fund immigration nonprofits came through the Community Health and Equity Committee Sandoval leads; the committee approved the $1.5 million allocation last month.
To obtain a portion of the ARPA funds, each immigrant assistance organization would need to submit a proposal for how the funds would be used.
