The director of Albuquerque’s Department of Family and Community Services, Carol Pierce, recently discussed the extra measures the department is taking to provide for the homeless population as well as continuing to provide services for local children.
Carol Pierce further notes that AHCH's street medicine team "amped up their resources" to provide for people living without homes who are in need of care. Other partners making this response possible include HopeWorks, Heading Home NM and others who are doing everything they can to aid our most vulnerable population during these times.
