Kagi AI Summary

The New Mexico Coalition to End Homelessness organizes an annual point-in-time count of the homeless population in Albuquerque. Last year’s count found over 2,300 homeless individuals.

Notably, the 2023 nationwide report found that New Mexico saw the largest increase in homelessness at 57% over the past year, along with high rates of unsheltered veterans and chronic homelessness.

      The browser plugin has the AI summary feature I used here. I use it on almost every article I run across, then decide if I want to read the whole thing. It’s a great time saver.
