Heading Home

Heading Home is a New Mexico non-profit that provides shelter and housing services to people experiencing homelessness. We work to make experiences of homelessness as rare, short-lived and nonrecurring in our community. We fulfill this vision through serving as a unified voice of advocacy, prevention and service; we are an innovative convener, collaborator and educator about homelessness in the community. We are dedicated to serving those most in need in New Mexico by providing emergency and permanent supportive housing with access to wrap around services. Our programs serve families, women, men & veterans. Heading Home operates two shelters – the Albuquerque Opportunity Center and the Westside Emergency Housing Center. We run a medical respite program which provides 24-hour care to men recently released from the hospital who do not have a home. Our signature Housing First program, Albuquerque Heading Home, has housed hundreds of medically vulnerable, chronically homeless individuals since 2011. Our programs for families provide rental assistance and permanent supportive housing and case management. All of our programs assist veterans in exiting homelessness into permanent supportive housing. We utilize the Housing First, Collective Impact and Harm Reduction models to provide life-saving services to some of the most vulnerable members of our community.
