Chief Executive Officer

After nearly 40 years of white male leadership, it’s time to do things differently. My name is Annam Manthiram, and I’m the first woman, and person of color, to serve as CEO of HopeWorks.

As one of the largest homeless service providers in New Mexico, our leadership must reflect the demographics and lived experience of our clients in order to center their care.

I am someone with both the lived experience of trauma and addiction, and I come to this role with a deep understanding of the complexities around homelessness and addiction, and how we cannot truly end homelessness without healing trauma first.

Trauma begins in a community, in the very structures and systems we grow up in. There is a loss of you, a loss of me. A fission in our spirituality and moral compass. It is the reason we can pass by a person living on the street and not feel sadness or rage at the inequity or injustice.

The only antidote to trauma is love. And prioritizing love means prioritizing the values of diversity, equity, inclusion, and social justice, as well as thoughtfully incorporating spiritual community in our practices.

I hope you will continue to follow along on our journey as we begin to focus on a bolder, more innovative vision of healing homelessness: through love, community, and spirituality. In the coming weeks, I will share with you our vision, as well as some of our challenges and successes.

Until next time, remember. There is you. There is me. There is us. And we’re in this together.
