The Albuquerque City Council this week approved two measures seeking to increase transparency and efficiency around the city’s services for people experiencing homelessness.
A resolution and a memorial, put forth by Councilor Renée Grout, passed early Tuesday morning. The resolution directs the city’s Health, Housing and Homelessness department to make the housing voucher process “more efficient and transparent.” The memorial — essentially a formal statement by the council — asks for support from the state to create a pilot program for a “behavioral health and housing resource” dashboard.
