ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – The City of Albuquerque and Bernalillo County recently acquired $80 million in funding from the state to allocate to housing projects to fix the ongoing housing problem. There are 10 city and county projects on the list to get the funding. With a goal to create over 1,000 units in the next year, some funding will go to new projects, and some will help finish ongoing projects.

"We are committed to getting a thousand people off the street who are currently homeless this year," Bernalillo County Manager Cindy Chavez said.
