The conference featured local and national experts in the field. We plan to continue this annual event.

"the new mexico coalition to end homelessness has been leading advocacy efforts to end homelessness. At the state legislature the coalition was able to retain the state's investment of about 2 million in programs for homeless people during a year when the state budget allowed for no growth. "the coalition serves as the lead agency for the new mexico homeless management information system (hmis). Data from this system is helping guide the continuing response to homelessness. "the coalition contracted with two consultants from colorado to try and stimulate more supportive housing development in new mexico through a series of toolkit workshops and one on one technical assistance to be started in 2017.
