Gateway Center

An Albuquerque shelter for people experiencing homelessness opened a receiving area for first responders Wednesday. That is in addition to several other services the city is adding on to the still-new shelter.

After shutting down a large encampment at Coronado Park last week, Albuquerque Mayor Tim Keller and other city officials are highlighting the status of the Gateway Center, which will provide an array of services, including emergency shelter and medical care, to the city’s unhoused population. Construction is underway and the first phase of the center should open next summer.
