The Sanctuary Task Force of Albuquerque Friends Meeting envisions a community in which housing instability is rare--or brief and non-recurring--ending homelessness as we know it. We aim to engage with unsheltered neighbors from a framework of solidarity and mutuality—rather than a charity-based model--through which we may build a greater sense of relationship and shared community.
In keeping with Friends' Testimonies on Community and Equality, and recognizing AMM’s long-standing collaboration with (formerly) St Martin’s Hospitality Center (now Hopeworks), on their meal program, we support individuals and families experiencing homelessness in gaining access to life-sustaining resources within our local neighborhood and beyond. We progress toward this goal by providing access to safe, potable drinking water and to a resting place during daytime hours.
Additionally, according to our capacity, we will offer referrals to and/or support for liaison with groups serving unhoused people, as well as advocacy with government and other agencies to provide a wide-range of services.
* The Sanctuary Task Force has worked in collaboration with Building & Grounds Committee to provide water access at the outdoor spigot (installing a French drain to improve sanitation);
* Security for the enclosed garden;
* Daily monitoring team to provide snacks/supplies to unhoused neighbors and remind them of request that no one stay on the grounds overnight.
* Security System for roof
* Alternative to calling 911 plan
* Request to APD to stop using the AMM parking lot
* Interface with other community organizations and the City of Albuquerque
