St. Elizabeth's Shelter Program Saves Seniors from Homelessness

Santa Fe New Mexican

There were 306,000 people over the age of 50 living on the streets in 2014. That was the last year that data was available. In Santa Fe, more than 400 people come to St. Elizabeth’s shelter in Santa Fe for housing assistance every year. Nine units are for elders.
