Data Sources TexVet.org In the summer of 2015, TexVet.org provided information from their directory of services listing programs available to Veterans experiencing homelessness or at-risk of homelessness from.

  • Non-Discrimination Ordinance
    TO: CHAMBER MEMBERSHIP FROM: BOARD OF DIRECTORS SUBJECT: CITY OF SAN ANTONIO NON-DISCRIMINATION ORDINANCE STATUS: ADOPTED DATE: 08/22/13 STATEMENT: The Greater San Antonio Chamber of Commerce supports non-discrimination policies that protect indiv iduals from discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, age or disability . We also believ e that protections should include indiv iduals who may be discriminated against for their sexual orientation, gender identity or veteran status; therefore, The Chamber supports the City of San Antonio’s proposed Non-Discrimination Ordinance. BACKGROUND: The City of San Antonio’s first Non-Discrimination Ordinance was passed in 1994. Currently, 96% of the top Fortune 500 companies include employment protections for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) employees. In fact, several companies in San Antonio, both large and small, have already included similar employment protections. Fiv e of the state’s largest cities, including Austin, Dallas, El Paso, Ft. Worth, and Houston, all have similar LGBT protections in place. Throughout the United States, over 180 cities have enacted protections prohibiting discrimination against LGBT individuals such as Atlanta, Baltimore, Cincinnati, Memphis, and Phoenix. In addition, 21 states and the District of Columbia have passed laws prohibiting employment discrimination based on sexual orientation and/or gender identity. CURRENT POLICY: The City’s current Non-Discrimination Policy prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, age, or disability. PROPOSED POLICY: T he proposed ordinance additionally prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex ual orientation, gender identity and veteran status in the areas of city employment, city contracts and subcontracts, appointments to Boards and Commissions, Discriminatory Housing Practices and Places of Public Accommodation.

  • A Welcome Compromise on Sales Tax Vote
    Editorial: A welcome compromise on sales tax vote Express-News Editorial Board July 24, 2020 Comments Riders climb aboard a VIA Primo bus back in 2015. We like the compromise between Mayor Ron Nirenberg and VIA Metropolitan Transit to meld workforce development and transit for a future sales tax vote. Photo: Billy Calzada /San Antonio Express-News We see a lot of potential good in a compromise between VIA Metropolitan Transit and Mayor Ron Nirenberg about how to deploy future sales tax dollars. This compromise, which voters will have to approve in November, would dedicate the city’s 1/8-cent sales tax to workforce development before shifting to improve public transit. In a world often framed in either/or terms, it was initially disheartening to see VIA’s board attempt to push ahead on a sales tax vote without any public consideration for workforce development in this COVID-19 moment. Yes, VIA has historically been underfunded, receiving far less in sales tax dollars than similar transit authorities in other major markets. And, yes, before the COVID-19 pandemic, Nirenberg and Bexar County Judge Nelson Wolff were moving forward to shift sales tax dollars to VIA. But this pandemic has revealed stark inequities across San Antonio and a dire need to invest in workforce training. Roughly 160,000 San Antonians are out of work, and we have no idea when the people who support the hospitality industry will be comfortable flying again, much less eating in restaurants or attending conferences. The economic recovery is going to be a long slog, and this is an opportunity to create new skills for disenfranchised workers.
