We’re pleased to share that Barrett Foundation, Inc. has received a $1.25 million award from the Bezos Day 1 Families Fund! We’re one of the 40 organizations across the country selected this year by an independent advisory group of family homelessness experts for our leadership in helping families experiencing homelessness in Albuquerque find stability and achieve wellbeing. We plan to use this incredible contribution to assist families in the shelter with essential move-in costs, and establish a new Housing and Employment Navigator position, which will help residents seek job and housing opportunities. We’re thankful for the Day 1 Families Fund’s support as we work to ensure that every family in our community has a safe, stable place to call home.

Shelter and Support

Barrett House provides shelter and supportive services to women and children experiencing homelessness. As one of our volunteers said, “These are the women and children who don’t have a safety net to catch them.”

Barrett House creates an opportunity for them to get a safety net in place to build the stability they need to start their journey toward securing a home for themselves and their children.

“It is my hope you will understand how important of a role Barrett Foundation played in my life. Barrett enabled me to have an opportunity to grow and prosper and to find my way out of the cycle I was in. I am forever grateful.”

-Former Barrett House Resident
