Mission Texas – Temporary Home for Families in need 06/27/2017
The City of Mission now has a 2nd Safe Haven Home! A Safe Haven Home is a home that will be used as a temporary shelter (approximately three months) for people who have certain emergencies – families who have been evicted from homes for lack of payment due to medical or loss of job, families who lost their homes to fire, hurricane, storm, etc. The Safe Haven House will be used to accommodate those emergencies until the residents find permanent housing for themselves.
To recognize the support the City of Mission has played in the lives of Mission students – Mission CISD presented the City of Mission and its City Council the “Stand Up for Texas Public Schools” recognition from the Texas Association of School Boards! We are honored.

Kids taking part in our Speer Memorial Library’s Summer Reading Program enjoyed a motivational stunt show presented by juggler/magician Matt Tardy! The purpose of the performance was to show the children the importance of having a healthy mind and body.

The City of Mission proclaims the month of May to be: “ELDER ABUSE PREVENTION MONTH” in the City of Mission. Many of the cases investigated by Adult Protective Services in Texas involve self-neglect and it is our duty as citizens to reach out to people in need. We urge all citizens to work together to help reduce abuse and neglect of people who are elderly or have disabilities.
