Please feel free to call us for any Veteran question or problem!

Geographic areas served: the great state of New Mexico
Programs: Emergency, Transitional and Rapid Re-housing options helping at-risk and literally homeless Veterans and their families with safe and stable housing options based on their unique needs; a Donations Program that helps turn a "house" into a "home" by fully furnishing our Veterans home when they move into permanent housing, and helping community Veteran families in need of the same services (when stock is available) with our donations; a free Community Support Shuttle connecting over 1300 riders each month all Albuquerque community members in the downtown corridor with essential social services and income supports; a Peer Support Program that helps provide therapeutic outings to help Veterans & their families relax and enjoy camaraderie with other Veteran families and gives every Veteran in our programs a "battle buddy" they can call with stressors and concerns anytime; a Jail Diversion program that assists previously incarcerated Veterans with a second chance at getting back to positive life of self-sufficiency. All Veterans and families served receive a case manager and support team to address all their unique needs and ensure that each Veteran is able to become self-sufficient and independent; a food pantry that is an authorized community food distribution site for the Roadrunner Food Bank ensuring that both Veteran and non-Veteran families receive essential food sources.
