WHO WE ARE

It solidifies an overwhelming desire by individuals and groups throughout the community to protect and provide safe, secure housing for our most vulnerable residents, as well as affordable, stable housing for all community members.
We possess significant knowledge, expertise and collective will to address the many systemic issues that are presently, and historically, impacting our mutual ability to address the housing crisis within our community. Our members include representatives from youth and adult emergency shelters, community housing providers, supportive services agencies, government entities, private foundations, policy advocates, promoters of social justice, and other interested stakeholders.
S3 Santa Fe Housing Initiative is a collaborative effort made possible with support from the following organizations: Anchorum Health Foundation, Santa Fe Community Foundation, Thornburg Foundation, City of Santa Fe, Santa Fe County, and the New Mexico Coalition to End Homeless.
