NMCEH and its members have
signed on to the Zero 2016
campaign with a goal of housing
all
homeless veterans in New Mexico
by the end of 2015 and all
chronically homeless people by
the
end of 2016. When these
milestones are reached NMCEH
will continue to house any new
homeless veterans and
chronically homeless people
within 30 days. In the coming
year NMCEH will work toward
these goals using the statewide
Coordinated Assessment system as
a tool to locate and house
veterans and chronically
homeless people. ice to

Bernalillo County and the City
of Albuquerque have a poor track
record when it comes to
protecting air quality for their
most vulnerable neighborhoods.
Regulators do not implement air
quality laws fairly across
neighborhoods. Thus, in
low-income neighborhoods there
are more polluting facilities,
few air quality monitors, and no
consideration of cumulative
impacts from air toxins. We are
advocating for
better air quality monitoring in
low-income neighborhoods, and
looking to change the regulatory
system so that local
decision-makers look at
cumulative impacts from air
pollution - not just individual
facilities. |

Decades of research show that participation in the arts can lead to higher
levels of school engagement,
higher academic performance,
greater leadership, confidence,
resilience, civic engagement,
and improved creative and
critical thinking skills. Art
Works is an aesthetic education program that
pairs artists with teachers and
offers students live experiences
with works of art, and
artist-led tours of museum
exhibits and performances by
Santa
Fe’s finest performing arts
organizations. ArtWorks is now a
program of Partners in Education
Foundation. |

The Railyard Stewards |
|
Santa Fe, New Mexico / $10,000 |
|
|
The Santa Fe Railyard represents
a large public and private
investment, and has improved
public life in Santa Fe. The
City of Santa Fe Parks Division
doesn’t have adequate manpower
or the resources to care for and
maintain the gardens and
landscapes in the 13-acre
Railyard Park. As the only
full-time conservation |
|
|
|
organization caring for a public
park within the City’s 62 parks
system, we are responsible for
all the horticultural care and
public programming in the
Railyard Park. The Stewards
provide job training for
homeless and at-risk youth, and
provide science literacy
education and service-learning
for more than 500 elementary
school students annually. |

Center (SFRC) |

Santa Fe, New Mexico / $12,000 |

The SFRC’s main goal is to
nurture and protect all injured
and orphaned native wild bird
species that live in New Mexico
or migrate through the state,
and rehabilitating and releasing
them back into the wild. Birds
brought to our center are
examined and evaluated by our
licensed staff of rehabbers to
determine how best to proceed
with their medical care. Once
stabilized, the “patient” is
moved out of the ICU for rest,
recovery, and preparation for
successful release back into the
wild. |
