Melody’s Story

ENDING HOMELESSNESS FOR GOOD

We believe in Housing First because people like Melody should be able to focus on bettering themselves rather than worrying about where they’re going to sleep next. Instead of worrying about stable housing, Melody has been able to focus on her family and her personal wellness.

With your support, we can continue helping people suffering from homelessness by finding the secure housing they need.

Mission

To end homelessness by providing affordable, permanent, and supportive housing to individuals and families in New Mexico

Values

HOME – everyone deserves to live in a place that is permanent, safe, and secure

EMPOWERMENT – creating space and opportunities for personal choice and transformative growth

BELONGING – a sense of community that comes from connections to family, neighbors, and friends

INTEGRITY – everyone who walks through our door is worthy of dignity, respect, and our best efforts

IMPACT – achieving our mission through proven practices and collaborative partnerships

Impact

Permanent supportive housing has made it possible for Jesse to get the support he needs to stay clean and sober, find work that satisfies him, work on his art, and begin his journey of health and healing.

Downtown @700 2nd is not just a place where you pay rent but a place of love, wellness, and no negativity; a place that helps you rediscover your strengths and find your life again.

Christine

Not only did you give us the keys to our own home, you have also given us keys to many opportunities to better our lives and success in all our endeavors. You are all a blessing for those who are rolling up their tents and following in our footsteps!

I have gotten the trust of my family back because I am in a stable place. My grandkids come to visit me. And now my house is not just a place to live, they (the grandkids) have turned it into a home. When I put my key in the door, I am home, and that is a great feeling.

Harold

For 20 years I spent my time looking for a place to sleep at night, looking for food, fighting for my health, and fearing for my life. I don’t think people understand what it means to be stable and have a home. It’s my sanctuary, it’s where I feel safe.
