Plenty of beds at Albuquerque Homeless shelter

Recently the Albuquerque Journal had an article discussing the need for a new contractor at the West Side homeless shelter. The article included one noteworthy line which we have highlighted below. According to it on June 20, 2024 the West Side shelter had 170 open beds. Now, thanks to a recent US Supreme Court decision cities are confirmed nationwide to be allowed to clear “homeless” off public rights-of-way and parks and other public spaces.

Sadly, Mayor Keller has never been serious about getting the “homeless” out of these public spaces. But, clearly, the problem is NOT a lack of beds.
