*Gateway Center for Homeless Services Moving Forward with Public Input
Session, Architect Recommendation**City to take public input and recommend
a local firm following voter approval of center to connect people
experiencing homelessness to services and permanent housing*

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M —After a broad majority of voters approved the City of
Albuquerque’s proposal to build a gateway center to connect people
experiencing homelessness to resources, services and to help them
transition into permanent housing, the project took two major steps forward
this week.

Mayor Tim Keller’s administration will hold a public information and input
session on December 14, 2019 from 8 a.m. to 12 noon at the Albuquerque
Convention Center. The session will give the public an opportunity to weigh
in on criteria for consideration in the design and function of the center,
including siting, services offered, and neighborhood impacts.

“Voters gave the project a mandate and the next critical step is continuing
our public input process on siting and services,” said Mayor Keller.
“Starting Monday, the public will have the opportunity to comment online
over the next two weeks or in person on December 14.”

The Mayor has also sent a formal recommendation to the City Council on an
architect to design the project: local Albuquerque firm Mullen Heller
Architecture, PC.

“It’s important to select an architect now so they can be involved in the
design at an early stage and get the input from public comment sessions.
Input from the community is critical and must be a component of the design
by the chosen architect,” said Family and Community Services Director Carol
Pierce.

The executive communication will be heard by the City Council at its
December 16 meeting, where the public will also have the ability to
comment.
