Friday Court for Homeless Tickets

Bernalillo County’s Metropolitan Court is launching a bold new initiative: every Friday starting July 17th, they’re dedicating court time to help folks experiencing homelessness navigate citations for nine common city violations. With court dates automatically scheduled on the ticket and flyers distributed to guide people—whether in person or online—this move aims to eliminate missed hearings caused by lack of a fixed address. Outside Courtroom 32, service providers will offer immediate support and resources to address root causes. Judge Michelle Castillo Dowler believes this approach fosters accountability, streamlines justice, and ultimately builds a stronger, more compassionate community.
