Affordable Housing

Housing Development initiatives to increase affordable choices for the community
 
It is part of Catholic Charities' mission to provide affordable housing for low-income and special needs families and individuals in the state of New Mexico. Since 2015, Catholic Charities has been working to identify new construction development opportunities and provide more affordable housing options to the community. In partnership with housing developers, we collaborate with Government agencies and private investors to develop affordable housing projects. Catholic Charities contributes partial funding to the development of housing projects, and provides social services to residents. Projects may be owned by Catholic Charities, co-owned with other entities, and/or co-managed.
 
We aim to be recognized as a provider of high quality and well-managed affordable housing for low-income families. We are currently on target to achieve our 3 year goal of developing 200 units of affordable housing in New Mexico. In the long term, we hope to build enough affordable housing units so that every family has a roof protecting them.

Grants Project

Catholic Charities Affordable Housing is working on developing affordable housing in Rio Rancho on part of our property with Chelsea Development.  We are also working on some potential developments in central Albuquerque with J L Gary Development. 

Albuquerque and Santa Fe currently need an estimated 22,000 new affordable housing units. These projects are working to fulfill that need by upgrading and expanding affordable housing, creating employment opportunities in construction to build/remodel facilities, and bring out-of-state investment into New Mexico's communities.
