Governor of New Mexico, Michelle Lujan Grisham, paid a visit to LAHSA CEO Dr. Adams Kellum at the Welcome Navigation Center (WNC). Governor Grisham had the opportunity to learn more about how WNC operates, gaining valuable insight into how to create something similar in New Mexico. By learning some of LAHSA’s best practices, she will be better equipped to address homelessness in her own backyard. We at LAHSA are happy to assist!

Teaching children compassion at an early age helps shape their perspective of humanity, and that’s exactly what Jessica’s mother did. Jessica Reed, LAHSA’s Associate Director of Continuum of Care Planning, shares stories of her young mother—who had also experienced homelessness—bringing her to Skid Row to volunteer. This was Jessica’s early experience of doing good in the world, and she continues that work here at LAHSA. Thank you, Jessica!
