Our Albuquerque Street Connect program is an outreach collaborative focused on people experiencing homelessness who have the highest records of utilization of emergency services and care. The aim is to establish ongoing relationships that result in permanent supportive housing for these people, many of whom suffer from severe behavioral health issues.
We are looking for someone with a background in behavioral health or a history of working in social services to lead weekly activities with a group of our Albuquerque Street Connect clients. An example would be an arts and crafts project, bringing breakfast, playing music or playing games.

Mission Statement
We envision an Albuquerque where homelessness is rare, short-lived and nonrecurring.
Description
We are an Albuquerque based 501c3 non-profit organization, established in 2004. Heading Home is the backbone agency for ABQ Heading Home, a community wide initiative that aims to end chronic homelessness in Albuquerque. Along with our community partners in the for-profit, non-profit, private, public, and political sectors, we are providing permanent, supportive housing solutions to people who are medically vulnerable and are experiencing chronic homelessness. The ABQ Heading Home initiative has housed over 800 individuals since it began in 2011. Head Home also provides emergency shelter each night for 88 adult men experiencing homelessness through the Albuquerque Opportunity Center (AOC).
