Communities cannot prevent or address homelessness without ensuring that survivors of domestic violence have safe, stable places to go. When shelters and transitional housing programs have secure facilities, working infrastructure, and trauma-informed environments, they are able to offer people a protected space to recover, plan their next steps, and rebuild stability. This funding supports improvements that strengthen safety, expand capacity, and reduce the risks that force survivors into homelessness. By investing in the physical spaces where care happens, the state is investing in long-term safety, housing stability, and the wellbeing of families across New Mexico.

Shelters across the state shared how these funds have strengthened their ability to provide safe, stable housing.
Hartley House
Hartley House used the funding to replace an outdated fence at our shelter. The fence was old and in need of costly repairs or replacement. The fence has added security to our shelter, which improves the safety of the survivors staying at our shelter, as well as the staff working at the shelter. By feeling safe and secure during their stay, the survivors can focus on making the necessary changes in their lives, and the lives of their children. This makes it possible for them to move forward and live a happy abuse-free life.
