We are Open Arms.

Open Arms Santa Fe provides low-barrier transitional shelter, campus stewardship, and community outreach through the Arroyo Chamiso Micro Community. We create a safe, welcoming environment where our neighbors are treated with dignity and respect as they work toward permanent housing by enhancing the campus, coordinating volunteers and donations, ideating and supplementing community programs, and providing outreach initiatives such as our community food pantry.

In partnership with The Life Link, which provides resident services and case management, Christ Lutheran Church, the City of Santa Fe, local organizations, volunteers, and donors, Open Arms Santa Fe strengthens the resident community by stewarding the campus, fostering meaningful partnerships, and creating opportunities for connection, engagement, and community. Together, we support a collaborative model that benefits both residents and the broader Santa Fe community.

Our vision is to expand this collaborative model into a network of micro communities that provide temporary transitional shelter, foster community, and create pathways toward housing stability throughout Santa Fe.
