Albuquerque Heading Home is a multi-agency partnership that aims to make experiences of homelessness rare, short-lived, and non-recurring. A YAV placed with Heading Home will work to help the most vulnerable local population stabilize their living situations, with the ultimate goal of obtaining and keeping permanent housing. These are people experiencing homelessness and who are below the poverty level (often with no income at all), 83% of who have mental health challenges. The Heading Home YAV will confront the challenges of social systems, issues of social inequity and poverty and homelessness while being part of a solution that gives people shelter, dignity and housing.
