ABQ FaithWorks Collaborative's Housing Insecurity Assistance - ID Clinic

Over the past year, our dedicated volunteers have made a profound impact in our community by providing essential support to those facing housing insecurity. By assisting  the most vulnerable members of our community in obtaining crucial documentation like New Mexico IDs and birth certificates, we empower them to access vital city services and pursue employment opportunities.  Together, we're building a stronger, more inclusive community one ID at a time.

Operating from 10am to 12pm, find us every Tuesday at Immanuel Presbyterian Church on 114 Carlisle Blvd SE, and on Wednesdays at Central United Methodist Church on 201 University Blvd NE, Albuquerque.

Thank you United Way of North Central New Mexico!

We are so thankful for the support from United Way of North Central New Mexico.  Their help this past year has been a huge help in our goal to assist those experiencing homelessness or at risk of eviction. We look forward to all the different ways we can partner with United Way of Central New Mexico in the future! In May, we’ll be joining them at ALICE in New Mexico: A Community Conversation to learn Alice Limited, Income Constrained, Employed. It’s likely we all know at least one Alice who is struggling to make ends meet. Fortunately, with the help of our partners like United Way we are helping Alice to make ends meet, and not lose their housing.

Check back in May to find out what we learn at this conversation on May 2! 

Poverty Simulation

We all know that poverty and homelessness exist in our community.  But what is the cause?  Is there an answer?  How should we respond to those who are facing poverty and homelessness? 

ABQ FaithWorks collaborated with St. Paul Lutheran Church and presented a Poverty Simulation.  The simulation allowed adults and youth to experience the realities people face, which led to a great conversation about the power of kindness, compassion, and generosity.  The youth at St. Paul Lutheran Church and St. Luke Lutheran Church made a generous donation from which our families in our Rapid ReHousing and Asylum Program will benefit. 

If you are interested in experiencing ABQ FaithWorks Poverty Simulation for your small group, don't hesitate to get in touch with Abbey at programdirector@abqfaithworks.org.
