Every day, people across Albuquerque face impossible choices between health, housing, safety, and survival. For more than four decades, Albuquerque Health Care for the Homeless has stood alongside our community’s most vulnerable neighbors, providing compassionate care, creating pathways to stability, and championing systemic change. More than 5,000 people each year find support through our integrated model of care, but our impact extends far beyond the walls of our clinic. Through advocacy, partnership, and innovation, we are working to transform the systems that drive homelessness and build a community where everyone has the opportunity to live with dignity, health, and hope.
