Housing Stability Program
The Housing Stability Program provides housing stability services for at-risk communities and to help renters navigate housing obstacles in New Mexico. These grants were made available through the New Mexico Home Fund, formerly known as the Emergency Rental Assistance Program.
The Program is funded by the U.S. Department of Treasury and administered by the New Mexico Department of Finance and Administration (DFA). It is being led by New Mexico Community Trust on behalf of DFA. The assistance is intended to help residents stay housed and does not need to be repaid.
The awarded projects were chosen based on proposals from municipalities, community-based organizations and coalitions to aid in DFA’s housing stabilization efforts. Projects that received funding are focused on one or more of the following:
Mediation between landlords and tenantsHousing counselingCase management related to housing stabilitySpecialized services for individuals with disabilities or seniors that support their ability to access or maintain housingLegal services or attorney’s fees related to eviction proceedings and maintaining housing stabilityHousing-related services for survivors of domestic abuse or human traffickingEviction prevention and eviction diversion programsHousing navigators that help households access Emergency Rental Assistance programs or find housingHousing stability partners will work directly with constituents in their communities
"Our efforts to address housing and homelessness must run the gamut...we are working to create a broad spectrum of housing options that meet New Mexicans who need help where they are." — Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham
The New Mexico Home Fund, which the Housing Stability Program is part of, helps renters and homeowners in New Mexico pay for their rent, mortgage, and utility bills. To date over $200 million in rent and utility aid, and $11 million in mortgage assistance has been awarded to nearly 60,000 households.
