Local and current housing information for San Juan County.

• The Affordable Housing Alliance has the attention of Tom Udall’s office regarding requested legislation for acquisition of BLM land for affordable housing.  Letters have been submitted requesting support to acquire parcels for development of housing.

• ECHO continues to work with the City of Aztec on an application for a special use permit to increase the number of units on lots on Bunker Street in Aztec.  We hope to have a final decision in July.  We will begin interviewing families who might pre-qualify for these townhomes.  We will seek families making 80% or below the area median income of $49,800 (for a family of four).

• San Juan County has stepped forward to sponsor the CDBG Planning Grant to fund the strategic housing plan.  They will also follow up with the needed RFP for this project.  This will establish the plan required by the Mortgage Finance Authority to bring HUD funding as well as our funding sources to San Juan County.

• ECHO applied for funds for the homebuyer education and counseling program through an MFA grant.  We are hopeful of receiving this funding for a much needed service.  Besides group classes we will offer one on one financial counseling to prepare families for home ownership as well as foreclosure prevention counseling.

• The New Mexico Foundation for Building included San Juan County in their housing rehabilitation application to MFA.  Funds were awarded for the rehab program and ECHO will work with FFB to train intake personnel for that program.
