Housing is a human right. All people need and deserve a safe, decent, affordable place to live. Housing for everyone is also possible if we can create the political will to make housing for all a priority.
Each year about 17,000 New Mexicans are homeless for at least part of the year. This includes single adults as well as families with children and unaccompanied youth. Without homes, these people also lose access to education, regular health care, employment and most of the things that many of us take for granted as part of our every day lives. Extended homelessness has been shown to lead to early death at an average age of between 42 and 52, due to many untreated chronic health conditions as well as the hardship of living outdoors.
