Albuquerque Local Pulse: Housing Transparency, Young Athletes Rise, and Mild Friday Weather
Published 1 month, 1 week ago
Description
Good morning, this is Albuquerque Local Pulse for Friday, March 13.
We start with big news from City Hall where our Health, Housing and Homelessness Department just launched a new housing voucher tracking website today. Sponsored by Councilors Renee Grout from District 9 and Nichole Rogers from District 6, this live dashboard brings real transparency to how we help our most vulnerable folks get stable homes near Central Avenue and beyond. It lets applicants track their status in real time and shows the public exactly how vouchers are used, cutting through old red tape to match people faster with supportive housing.
Shifting to our schools, Albuquerque Academy is buzzing after New Mexico United signed three of their students to USL Academy contracts yesterday. These young Chargers are stepping up big time, joining the pro soccer ranks right here in our backyard. Plus, their speech and debate team crushed nationals last summer, with Anagha Devarakonda hitting top three percent, and they snagged their seventh straight NMAA Directors Cup for all-around excellence in sports and arts.
On the cultural front, UNM is bringing hundreds of New Mexico Spanish archives online this week, giving us all a deeper look at our history from the comfort of home. And for sports fans, local UNM golfer Clark Sonnenberg is turning heads as a freshman standout, filling big shoes on the Lobos team.
Job market looks steady with about 1,200 openings citywide, many in health care around Presbyterian Hospital. Real estate is heating up too, with median home prices hovering around 350,000 dollars near the Northeast Heights.
New business wise, keep an eye on fresh spots popping up along Route 66, though no major closings hit our radar.
Weather today brings mild temps in the low 60s under partly cloudy skies, perfect for outdoor walks in Balloon Fiesta Park, but watch for gusty winds up to 25 miles per hour that could scatter events. Outlook stays dry through Sunday.
Crime report from the past day notes a sensitive arrest near San Mateo Boulevard for a theft incident, with APD reminding us to stay vigilant against scam texts pretending to be from courts, no fines requested that way ever.
Upcoming, catch community cleanups at the BioPark this weekend. And a feel-good shoutout to young Mira Thompkins at Albuquerque Academy, juggling five instruments and track while shining bright.
