About the Campaign
The Campaign to End Child Homelessness seeks to galvanize the public and political will necessary to end this crisis through increasing public awareness of the scope and impact of homelessness on children and families; informing state and local policies and plans to better address the needs of homeless children and families; and improving programs and services to meet the unique needs of homeless children and families. The Campaign is partnering with the New Mexico Coalition to End Homelessness to sponsor this free training.
