Unstable or lack of housing is a driver for many negative outcomes for children, including poor educational outcomes and child abuse and neglect, yet there are few avenues by which a child’s housing status is documented. New Mexico has no idea of the size and depth of the homelessness problem of children in our state. Appleseed is working with homeless children and families, school districts and social services providers to identify more children, understand their needs and connect them with effective services.
New Mexico Appleseed's mission is to create high impact, systemic solutions to problems impacting children from poor and underserved families throughout New Mexico. We work on child hunger, homelessness and wellbeing to create dramatic and permanent change for children and their families.
