Metropolitan Homelessness Project is dedicated to ending homelessness.   Please join our mission!

This economy means extremely hard times. Many people--who have never been homeless before--will be tonight.

DO THE MATH:

ABQ Minimum Wage = $7.50/hr, or $1,300/mo.   HUD recommends that a monthly housing payment be 30% or less of one's income.   A person making minimum wage can afford $390/mo in rent.   Fair Market Value for a current studio apartment = $507/mo.

Your donation of any amount will greatly help those in need during these difficult economic times.  THANK YOU!
