Manage episode 341694395 series 2990884
It is one of the biggest issues facing New Mexico's largest city. Thousands of people are living on the streets and depending on where you live, you might have a widely different view on how to deal with it.
This week on the podcast, Chris and Gabby take a deep dive into Albuquerque's problem with homelessness, speaking with the man guiding policy and plans: Albuquerque Mayor Tim Keller.
In a 40 minute conversation, Keller shares his thoughts on the so-called "Safe Outdoor Spaces" or city-sanctioned homeless camps; the massive new Gateway Center homeless shelter; and what's the deal with the numerous encampments that still exist throughout the city.
What would be pivotal in changing the city's situation for the better? When will the Gateway Center open? And how many people will it serve? These questions and more are answered in this week's episode.
