Barrett Foundation

To end the experience of homelessness in our community by providing shelter, housing, and supportive services.

In 1985, Brother Mathias Barrett, a legendary friend of the homeless, founded Barrett House Shelter in a small residence on 13th Street and Mountain in Downtown Albuquerque. In 2005, the Barrett Foundation moved into a new, expanded facility in the Northeast Heights.

A huge thank you to everyone who donated mattresses, bed frames, blankets, and bedding during our Barrett Needs Beds Campaign!

Together, we replaced old mattresses in the Barrett Foundation shelter and provided beds and new bedding to families in our housing programs like Silver Linings and Linkages. Thank you for joining us to give the gift of home and safety to families experiencing homelessness in our community.

We were incredibly lucky to partner with Mattress Firm for a volunteer event at our shelter. Mattress Firm volunteers brought in 10 brand new mattresses to replace older beds. They also created sleep kits for the women in the shelter that included cozy socks, eye masks, lotion, and lip balm.

Staff and shelter residents were blown away by the generosity and women and children in the shelter are sleeping very well on their brand new mattresses.

Barrett Foundation's programs like Silver Linings and Linkages help provide stable housing to over 250 families across our community. But a house is just the first step in the journey to self-sufficiency. Many of these families are without important necessities like mattresses and bedding.

So we are asking for your help to turn these houses into homes for families in need. Over the next two weeks, we are collecting mattresses (sizes queen, full, and twin), bed frames, bedding, pillows, and blankets to help folks in Barrett Foundation's housing programs.

If you have any of these items to donate, please reach out to our Director of Development, Kelsey, at [email protected] to set up a pick up time.

Happy Easter from Barrett Foundation! We are busy preparing Easter baskets, activities, and dinner for the women and families staying in our shelter this weekend. Thank you to everyone who donated Easter candy, baskets, and gifts to ensure the day is special for our residents.

Thank you so much to Tamaya Wellness Center for donating onions, potatoes, squash, and beans to Barrett Foundation's shelter. Barrett Foundation provides three meals each day to residents in our shelter and this donation will ensure that our meals are fresh, healthy, and delicious. We are grateful for your support!

At Barrett Foundation, we will always protect and support women. From the women in our shelter, to families in our housing programs, to our staff, thank you for all the strength and positivity you bring to our organization.

We’re incredibly grateful to share some good news! Thanks to the generosity of our amazing supporters, the full cost of our walk-in freezer repair has been covered.

We also want to give a heartfelt thank you to our friends at La Salita Restaurant, for generously allowing us to use their freezer space while ours was down and being repaired. Their kindness helped ensure meals for the women and children at Barrett House Shelter continued without interruption.

This community shows up when it matters most — thank you for being part of ours. ❤

In observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, our offices will be closed on Monday, January 19. We will reopen and resume normal operations on Tuesday, January 20.

We honor Dr. King’s legacy of service, justice, and compassion—values that continue to guide our work alongside families and individuals on their path to stable housing.

"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter."

Happy New Year from all of us at the Barrett Foundation! 🎉

As we welcome a new year, we’re taking a moment to reflect on all we accomplished together — families finding safe shelter, moving into permanent housing, and building brighter futures because of you.

Thank you to our incredible supporters, partners, and community for making this work possible. We’re so grateful to head into the new year with your continued support and belief in our mission.

✨ Please note: Our offices will be closed on New Year’s Day.
Here’s to another year of hope, impact, and community.

As the year comes to a close, we want to take a moment to wish our community a peaceful and joyful holiday season.

In observance of the holidays, our offices will be closed December 24–28 and will reopen on December 29.

We are deeply grateful for the support, generosity, and kindness that make our work possible throughout the year. Wishing you time to rest, reflect, and be with those you love.
