2022 New Mexico "point-in-time" survey finds a 62% statewide increase in homelessness, with Albuquerque's unsheltered population rising 14.5%.
New Mexico Coalition to End Homelessness's "point-in-time" survey reveals a 62% increase in homelessness statewide, with Albuquerque seeing a 14.5% rise in unsheltered homeless population in 2022 compared to 2021. The total number of people living on the streets statewide reached its highest level since 2009. The survey, conducted on a single night in January, may undercount the actual homeless population due to limitations and encampment sweeps in Albuquerque, which the Coalition says may be exacerbating homelessness.
