Northern New Mexico envisions a network of safe, inviting and stable housing that is easily accessible to youth and young adults, including parenting youth, who desire stable housing, are experiencing housing transitions and/or are at risk of unstable housing. Housing and supportive services are built on hope, driven by youth and young adults, are developed in collaboration with local communities, and are available with low or no barriers. Services respect and honor the unique cultures, identities and abilities of individual youth and young adults, and include the development of life skills, education and employment opportunities to promote self-sufficiency. In order that experiences of housing instability are rare, brief and non-recurring, housing options and supportive services are promptly accessible through multiple access points and are sustainable over time.

The overarching goal is to eliminate homelessness for youth and young adults in Northern New Mexico by ensuring they are stably housed and supported within 30 days of request of services. This is done through region-wide community awareness and collaboration, strategic outreach to youth in need, enhanced access to housing options, and continued advocacy for unmet community needs.
