ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – There are thousands of children in the state’s custody, and not enough places for all of them to sleep. The problem often results in kids sleeping in government office buildings, requiring long shifts from workers with some of the most high-needs children.

This week on the New Mexico News Insiders Podcast, KRQE Investigative Reporter Ann Pierret joins Chris and Gabby to break down what her most recent report uncovered about CYFD’s growing crisis, the strain on staff, and efforts to add more foster care support.
