homeless

The Albuquerque community came together yesterday/Wednesday [WED] to honor the lives of unhoused people who died in the city this year. KUNM’s Daniel Montano reports they read out the names of 130 people who were known to have passed.

The city of Albuquerque’s Human Rights Board is seeking public input on how to curb what it says is a recently growing problem — discrimination and violence against people experiencing homelessness. The hearing will take place June 22 at 1:00 p.m. MDT at the International District Library.

Controlled encampments or safe spaces for people who are unhoused are becoming more common around the country as housing costs keep rising. In Albuquerque, the city council approved the idea then reversed course and passed a moratorium on them. In Santa Fe, plans for a safe space at the Midtown campus also hit opposition. On this week’s Let’s Talk New Mexico, we’ll talk about managed encampments.

Campgrounds for unhoused people in Albuquerque could become easier to set up under two city council proposals.

Pete's Place was opened more than a decade ago because in the cold Santa Fe winters, people who were drunk or high and had nowhere to go could and did freeze to death. It has likely saved many lives. But the shelter has lately become a focus of frustration for some local residents and businesses, who say more people are living on the street outside, that their behavior is antisocial and they sometimes cause damage.
