ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - Three affordable housing projects in northern New Mexico will share nearly $1.3 million in grants.
U.S. Rep. Ben Ray Lujan’s office announced the funding Wednesday, saying the money will go to organizations that help with the purchase or construction of affordable housing for low- and moderate-income families.
Lujan says the grants will help ensure neighborhoods in northern New Mexico can provide residents with a safe, stable and affordable place to call home.
The Santa Fe Civic Housing Authority will use its share to rehab 121 rental units at the Pasa Tiempo public housing community and another 116 units at the Villa Hermosa community. Both communities will serve low-income elderly residents.
The Santo Domingo Tribal Housing Authority received $287,000 to assist in the construction of 41 rental units to address overcrowding.
