Albuquerque Heading Home Initiative 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.

We are the only statewide wilderness group in New Mexico with a proven track record of building diverse coalitions to protect our public lands.
Our organization is committed to building community and raising public awareness of wilderness issues.

We reach thousands of citizens each year through our quarterly newsletter and with our Wild Guide, an almanac of our events filled with wilderness anecdotes, art, and poetry. Our youth outreach programs engage young people in stewardship of public lands to promote a healthy future for our lands and communities. We hope you’ll join us in our mission to save New Mexico’s wild places!
