Islander Grad Students Assess Employment Program for City’s Homeless to Maintain, Clean Downtown Seawall
In Corpus Christi, there is a city-wide effort to improve the quality of life of the homeless population, which includes reintroduction to society. Master of Public Administration (MPA) students from Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi are doing their part to provide a solution to this problem. Specifically, they evaluated the city’s Seawall Steward Program, a proposal by the Downtown Management District (DMD). The program would use Type A Board funds to help reintroduced homeless individuals to the workforce by providing daily employment opportunities while also implementing regular cleaning and maintenance to one of the city’s major tourist locations – the Corpus Christi Downtown Seawall.
