ALBUQUERQUE MAYOR TIM KELLER IS IN SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS, ON TUESDAY TO LEARN ABOUT THAT CITY’S HOMELESS INITIATIVE. WHILE THERE, KELLER WILL VISIT THE 22-ACRE HOMELESS CAMPUS KNOWN AS THE “HAVEN FOR HOPE.” THOSE WHO LIVE ON CAMPUS ARE PROVIDED WITH A HOST OF RESOURCES THAT ENABLE THEM TO GET BACK ON THEIR FEET. “HAVEN FOR HOPE” IS A 100-MILLION DOLLAR HOMELESS CENTER BUILT IN 2010.
OFFICIALS THERE SAY THE CENTER HAS HELPED MORE THAN 4-THOUSAND HOMELESS PEOPLE GET OFF THE STREETS. THEY SAY ADDRESSING THE ROOT CAUSE OF A PERSON’S HOMELESS SITUATION SET THE PROGRAM APART.
KELLER IS IN SAN ANTONIO TO SEE WHAT HE CAN LEARN FROM WHAT WAS DONE THERE. HE’LL ALSO MEET WITH COMMUNITY LEADERS.
