The Multiple Functions of Our City

An equitable future and culture is a primary goal of our city, San Antonio’s designation as a World Heritage Site is a key example of that, overseen by the World Heritage Office. This past year, we consildated different efforts and departments to create the Office of Disability, Equity, Access, & Inclusion. The goal of this office is to advise our City functions in a way that promotes accessibility and inclusion for often marginalized communities. The Office of Sustainability oversees our environment efforts and programs, while the Office of Innovation’s driving goal is to carry our City functions further into the 21st century through the use of technology and innovative solutions to our biggest challenges. The Department of Military & Veteran Affairs is a manifestation of our status as Military City, USA, and aims to support our City’s mission to support our veterans. The Department of Human Services includes our homeless outreach team, our community and senior centers, emergency assistance programs, immigration services, education services such as Ambassadors and CafeCollege, among others.

The Communication & Engagement Department is frequently seeking new ways to include community in the various functions of the City, including through our engagement portal SASpeakUp! Residents can also call 311 Services in order to report any concerns or share feedback! In addition, the City houses the Center City Development & Operation Office which oversees maintenance of the River Walk, coordinates downtown events, and more!

Further operations include the Management & Budget Office, the City Attorney’s Office, the City Auditor, City Clerk, Office of the City Council & Mayor, City Manager’s Office, the Finance Department, Information Technology Services, the Office of Risk Management, and the Department of Government Affairs.
