ALBUQUERQUE – City officials in New Mexico have scrapped a plan to build one large 300-bed homeless shelter and are now considering a series of smaller facilities with at least 100 beds each throughout the community.
Mayor Tim Keller did not identify on Thursday how many emergency shelter beds would be included in one of the locations it is attempting to buy, the
Albuquerque Journal reported.
Keller said the plan was “fluid” because the city has not yet purchased the former Lovelace hospital in Albuquerque.
