As the wintry weather makes its way into San Marcos, Community Organization Active in Disasters (COAD) has teamed up with the Homeless Coalition of Hays County, the Blanco River Regional Recovery Team and the Southside Community Center to provide shelter for unhoused individuals in the San Marcos community.
With temperatures expected to drop tremendously, the organizations are also asking San Marcans to help by donating funds to provide overnight shelter during the winter weather conditions once shelter space has reached capacity.
“We've kind of established that when it drops, when temperatures drop below 32 degrees for a consecutive three hours throughout the night, that we open a shelter,” COAD Chair Monica Follwell, said. “So that being Southside, when Southside is at max capacity, then we’re leaning on those other organizations that give direct care, to help us find housing.”
