Renee’s Project
Provides supportive housing assistance and case management services for homeless women who have children and are recovering from drug and/or alcohol addiction. Renee’s Project works closely with identified women to reintegrate them into the community after being homeless. Renee’s Project staff encourages and facilitates the reunification process between women and their minor children.
Participants in Renee’s Project are provided with rental assistance vouchers for themselves and their minor children. Case management services include links to community-based recovery services as well as other supportive services. Through the comprehensive services provided by Renee’s Project, the women will receive workable solutions, interventions related to independent living, and development of a community-based support network designed to strengthen and preserve the family unit.
Milagro Residential Program
The Department of Substance Abuse Programs operates the Milagro Residential Program. This program provides housing, medical services, case management, and drug rehabilitation services to Pregnant/Post Partum Women and their infants. Through collaborative efforts with the Department of Health and UNM, DSAP operates the eight bed Milagro Residential Program on the MATS campus. Millagro serves women in the community, as well as women transitioning from MDC. To be considered for the Millagro Residential Program, an application must be completed and submitted to DSAP. Admissions to the program are based on a joint decision from UNM, DOH, and DSAP to ensure all aspects of care needs are met.
