THERE ARE FEWER HOMELESS IN NEW MEXICO. THE ALBUQUERQUE JOURNAL SAYS THAT’S IN THIS YEAR’S REPORT TO CONGRESS FROM THE FEDERAL HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT. HUD SAYS THE STATE’S HOMELESS POPULATION DROPPED BY NEARLY 14 PERCENT FROM 2015 TO 2016 … AND BY 24-POINT-9 PERCENT FROM 2007 THROUGH THIS YEAR.
BUT HOMELESS SUPPORT GROUPS IN ALBUQUERQUE DISPUTE THE REPORT, SAYING THEY HAVE ACTUALLY SEEN AN INCREASE IN STREET PEOPLE.
