Short-Term Housing Stabilization Assistance

HELPNM is providing housing assistance to individuals and families who are experiencing immediate housing stabilization needs in ten counties. 

Assistance may include assistance with rental application fees, security deposits, last month’s rent, utility deposits, utility payments, moving costs, and/or rental arrears payments for up to six months. 

Assistance is available in the following counties:  Hidalgo, Luna, Grant, Roosevelt, DeBaca, Guadalupe, Torrance, Lincoln, Quay and Curry.

Individuals or families who lack a fixed or adequate residence are encouraged to apply. Those who are currently residing in a shelters, transitional housing, and hotels are eligible. Families doubled up with friends or family and/or school district McKinney-Vento applicants are encouraged to apply.  Those who are currently facing eviction and in need of utility assistance for rental units are also encouraged to apply. 

Due to the emergency response for the fires in Northern New Mexico, the best way to request assistance for child care or early childhood education is to visit one of our locations in person.

**Please note: This form is not used for requesting emergency assistance due to the fires in Northern New Mexico. All such requests will not be answered here. (Updated 4/26/22)**
