Bexar County partners with Haven for Hope, the regional megashelter near downtown San Antonio, as the primary bridge-housing site. SARAH coordinates the Continuum of Care across roughly 50 partner agencies serving unhoused residents.
Haven for Hope, opened in 2010, operates a 22-acre campus serving up to 1,700 individuals nightly across emergency shelter, transitional housing, and on-site case management, medical, behavioral health, and workforce services. Bexar County funds Haven for Hope through annual budget allocations alongside city and philanthropic sources. SARAH (San Antonio Regional Alliance for the Homeless) coordinates the Bexar County Continuum of Care and runs the coordinated entry system that prioritizes vulnerable households for permanent supportive housing. Bridge-housing rules emphasize voluntary engagement, not mandatory placement. Residents access Haven through walk-in intake (1 Haven for Hope Way) or law enforcement diversion referrals.
Not a regulatory area; no penalties for unhoused individuals. Funded shelter providers must comply with HUD Continuum of Care reporting and equal-access rules.
