Albuquqerque's Human Rights Board has been much more active over the recent months than it has been in the preceeding years, passing resolutions, advising the city's government to update laws and hosting public hearings for the first time in nearly 50 years. They said they don't plan on slowing down anytime soon.

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.

The draft report assessing the city’s fair housing was published this week and it highlights Albuquerque’s housing inequities.
