It is inspiring to see what is possible when we work together as a community to address our biggest challenges. As Bernalillo County residents and as Americans there is nothing we cannot overcome if we truly believe we are all in it together.
For the state’s most populous urban area among our most urgent challenges are homelessness and access to affordable housing for residents across the economic spectrum. We need bold efforts to turn the tide on these dual and related challenges. We also need everyone, from business leaders to housing advocates to neighborhood representatives to roll up their sleeves and be willing to compromise on a comprehensive solution to these solvable problems.
