FISHER HOUSE TOUR VIDEO Albuquerque Fisher House Tour A HOME AWAY FROM HOME The Albuquerque Fisher House, dedicated in October 2019, is the 85th Fisher House constructed and gifted to a VA

or military installation by the Fisher House Foundation. The Albuquerque Fisher House celebrated its 5th anniversary on October 11, 2024. In over 5 years, we have welcomed OVER 1000 MILITARY

AND VETERAN FAMILIES, SAVING THEM OVER $700,000 IN LODGING COSTS! You can visit our Albuquerque Fisher House at New Mexico VA campus near the San Mateo entrance at Building 85, near the

parade grounds. To stay at the Fisher House, families must meet eligibility requirements. We are a temporary residence, NOT a treatment facility, hospice, counseling center, or homeless

shelter. BECAUSE A FAMILY'S LOVE IS GOOD MEDICINE A Veteran must refer a family to the VA healthcare team. Requests cannot be made directly to the Fisher House. Active-Duty families,

please contact us directly at  505-265-1711, ext. 3180. A referral is a request and does not guarantee a reservation. Reservations depend on eligibility and availability. Family reservations

include one private suite to share and cannot exceed the room's maximum occupancy. Families share a communal kitchen, laundry room, dining room, and family rooms with all other guests

in the house. Children are welcome at the Fisher House but require supervision by their guardians at all times. Animals are not allowed. Service Dogs are permitted if they belong to the
