Commentary: WASHINGTON - U.S. Senators Tom Udall and Martin Heinrich welcomed $10.7 million in U.S. Housing and Urban Development grants to help New Mexico families, veterans and individuals experiencing homelessness. The grants will go to programs in communities across the state, including three new organizations.
"Everyone deserves a quality place to call home, and this funding is particularly welcome news during the harsh winter months. These grants will help families and veterans experiencing homelessness throughout New Mexico get back on their feet," Udall said. "These community-based programs are key to meeting the unique needs of the people they serve. They are making real progress in working to end the cycle of homelessness by helping New Mexicans in need find a safe place to live, either by providing rental assistance, supportive housing or temporary shelters. Our goal is to end homelessness permanently, and as a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, I will continue fighting to ensure funding these effective housing programs remains a top priority."
"Stable housing is the foundation for economic security. These important grants will fund efforts to end homelessness in communities across New Mexico and give individuals the opportunity to get back on their feet,” said Heinrich. “I’m proud to support local organizations across New Mexico that are at the forefront of efforts to connect youth, families, and veterans experiencing homelessness with emergency shelter, lifesaving services, and pathways toward permanent housing. I will continue fighting for the resources our state needs to combat homelessness and strengthen our communities.”
