ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – Albuquerque has a huge housing problem but one city councilor said there's an even bigger issue getting critical city-funded housing help to those who need it.  Story continues below Traffic: Deadline approaching to submit opinions on I-25 ‘S-Curve’ plans Podcast: New Mexico’s big 2024 news headlines & what’s ahead in 2025 Health: CDC: Norovirus cases on the rise in New Mexico Community: Family remembers Albuquerque teen killed during dispute over washing machine Albuquerque City Councilor Renee Grout said Albuquerque's current housing voucher program isn't as efficient as it could be in part because the city doesn't have a centralized system where it can track what free housing vouchers are available.  "It seems that the system is really complicated with different kinds of vouchers and different sources of funding. People who need them have a hard time accessing them," said Grout.    "Sometimes clients have to go to several different agencies to check the availability and this creates another barrier to affordable housing," said Grout.    Grout's new resolution would create a centralized referral system to help streamline the application process for housing help. That new system would also monitor how many vouchers are available citywide in real-time.  Grout said part of this is transparency saying she's never got a clear picture of exactly where millions of dollars in housing voucher funding is being spent. The city earmarked $8 million for vouchers in the last budget passed over the summer. Meanwhile, the city recently ended a contract with one of its providers for misusing voucher funding.  Grout said a centralized voucher system could also help police, fire, and Albuquerque Community Safety connect people with housing. "There's not a system that they can just go to a website you can go to identify where I can take somebody if they need help," said Grout.    Councilors are expected to debate the proposal at their meeting next week. If it passes, the Health Housing and Homelessness Department will have to make a plan on how to start the new system in 90 days.  Mayor Tim Keller also said in his State of the City address this summer that his administration would revamp the voucher program. Grout said she has not heard from the mayor yet about his take on the proposal.
