Barrett Foundation Housing Programs
Barrett Foundation’s housing programs are designed to provide supportive housing and housing case management for homeless individuals and families. The goals are to assist program participants in expeditiously moving them into housing, achieving their highest level of independence and self-sufficiency, and ending the cycle of homelessness.
The housing programs operate under the Housing First model which is the philosophy that people experiencing homelessness must first meet their physical needs and the need for safety and security. Then they are able to focus on higher levels of need, all of which are essential to a person’s health and a person’s ability to obtain independence.
NOTE: People interested in participating in our housing programs must be referred through the New Mexico Coalition to End Homelessness. Please call 505-217-9570 for more information.
