Breaking the cycle of homelessness for children and families since 1988

Homelessness Affects Us All.

The mission of Cuidando Los Niños is to break the cycle of homelessness for children and families. We do this by providing high-quality early childhood education, case management, supportive housing, and parent education.

In Albuquerque, far too many families are experiencing homelessness, and the effects ripple across our entire community. When families thrive, neighborhoods grow stronger, safer, and more connected. By investing in solutions that provide stability and opportunity, we can create a healthier, more vibrant future for everyone.
