$35 Million Dollar Facility/Village for Homeless in Downtown San Antonio.
The CEO of a San Antonio based company plans to build a 35 million dollar complex for the homeless in San Antonio. Model after the ones in San Diego and Phoenix.
The place will help the homeless get back on their feet as well as better house them.

Homeless Center in San Antonio
Doesn't San Antonio already have a Community Action Program of which the
Dwyer Avenue Center for transitional housing is part of? As for a private company building a center for the homeless....what's the catch and who will fund this after it is built?

Downtown SA has the Samm Shelter, but it's out dated.
Bill Greehey and several private donors will be the main funding for this project. Bill Greehey is going out Bill Gates style. He gave St. Mary's Univeristy a 25 million dollar donation a few months back. I believe we watched the special KSAT ran about the homeless in San Antonio. He was deeply moved and decided somehting needed to be done. He along with others including the Mayor Hardberger toured the San Diego facility and the Phoenix facility. I believe after it is built it will be a non-profit that seeks donations.

Homeless Shelters
Thanks 210 for the answer. I'm all for rich folks donating money where it can be useful. What makes me sick is when you hear about some rich guy blowing a million dollars in one night at a casino.
Bravo Bill Gates and Bill Greehey!

I read the title of the thread and immediately thought of Bill Greehey without even knowing the rest of the story. Bill(my hubby) works for Valero and met Bill Greehey when Valero took over the Benicia refinery(used to be Exxon) and according to my husband, Bill G. is a man who gets things done. Hell, when the Norco refinery was hit by Katrina, Bill G. responded before the Feds could do anything and made sure that the employees families had everything that they needed. This guy is a real Gem!
