Albuquerque is facing an urgent crisis: hundreds of our most vulnerable citizens are trapped on the streets, struggling with addiction, serious mental illness, or both. For too long, fragmented programs have failed to create a scalable, lasting solution.
That is about to change.
Today, The ABQ Plan and a powerful coalition of public, private, and faith-based partners are unveiling the Five-Year Master Plan to End Street Homelessness. This isn’t another request for endless operational funding; it’s a strategic, results-driven blueprint designed to clear the streets of our addicted and mentally ill population and move them to long-term stability.
The foundation of this plan is the successful, street-first approach already proven by State of the Art Healing, which has engaged over 1,000 people and already housed one-third of them—all without a dime of City operating funds.
Our Goal: Scale 10x. We are adopting the globally recognized ‘Built for Zero’ framework and committing to a single, integrated “By-Name List” database for real-time tracking. Critically, the plan shifts all public funding to results-based contracts, paying partners only when an individual is off the street, in treatment for 90+ days, and in stable housing for 12+ months.
We are calling for political commitment, capital investment in land and technology, and the mobilization of the community to finally reach functional zero street homelessness for this population.
