Unhoused Resources

A ribbon cutting ceremony at New Creation Church attracted community members and local leaders, like Myor Tim Keller and County Commissioner Adriann Barboa, who celebrated the city's first outdoor space specifically set aside for unhoused people to call home.

Community members and homeless service organizations will honor the memory of unhoused people who died in Albuquerque this year with a vigil in the International District on Wednesday, December 18.

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.

Dozens of families are living at a transformed hotel in Albuquerque, where the unhoused can find refuge and their kids have room to thrive.

As a heatwave continues to scorch the Southwest, Albuquerque is seeing an unusual run of triple-digit days. Heat advisories warn of health consequences for everyone, but unhoused people are particularly vulnerable. And the homeless population statewide has surged by 48% over the last year.
