ALBUQUERQUE — Less than a week after House Republicans passed a budget that slashes federal funding for housing and homelessness resources, U.S. Rep. Melanie Stansbury (N.M.-01) will convene a roundtable and press conference at 10:30 a.m. MT, Tuesday, May 2, at Albuquerque Health Care for the Homeless.

Rep. Stansbury will convene homelessness and housing providers who she funded through the FY 2023 omnibus spending bill and FY 2024 Community Project Funding designees to highlight the impact these cuts would have on New Mexicans.

Rep. Stansbury recently submitted requests for $53.1 million for 15 Community Funded Projects that invest in housing, public safety, education and youth development, and sustainability.
