Commission Votes on Housing the Homeless

A VOTE BY THE BERNALILLO COUNTY COMMISSION TUESDAY NIGHT WILL DETERMINE IF A PROPOSAL TO PROVIDE APARTMENTS FOR THE HOMELESS BECOMES REALITY. THE PROJECT CALLS FOR A ONE-TIME 8-MILLION DOLLAR CAPITAL INVESTMENT, WITH A MILLION DOLLARS SPENT EACH YEAR TO KEEP THE PROJECT RUNNING.

THE APARTMENTS WOULD BE BUILT WITH MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN TAX REVENUE AND WOULD INCLUDE A BEHAVIORIAL HEALTH SERVICE ON THE GROUNDS.
