We’ve been reaching out since 1985.
At AHCH, outreach is more than just street medicine.
Homelessness is growing fast, and we know people need our help but have a lot of barriers to getting the help they need. That’s why at AHCH, our Integrated Health Outreach teams BREAK down barriers to provide lifesaving, trauma-informed, multidisciplinary care.

What Outreach Looks like at AHCH
The PIT Count
Each year, communities across the country participate in the federally required Point-in-Time (PIT) Count — a one-night survey intended to estimate the number of people experiencing homelessness. In Albuquerque, the PIT Count helps guide the allocation of critical federal, state, and local funding for housing, shelter, outreach, and supportive services. The count also creates meaningful opportunities for volunteers to engage directly with the community by helping conduct surveys and outreach alongside local organizations.
While the PIT Count is an important planning and advocacy tool, it is widely understood to be a severe undercount of the true scale of homelessness. Because it captures only a single night in time, many people experiencing homelessness are missed, including those staying temporarily with others, living in vehicles, or moving between unstable situations. In 2025, Albuquerque’s PIT Count identified 2,960 people experiencing homelessness, a 120% increase in just 2 years, yet Albuquerque Health Care for the Homeless alone serves more than 5,000 unique individuals each year. Many advocates estimate that the true number of people experiencing homelessness may be several times higher than the annual count suggests.
