My name is _____________ and I am a registered lobbyist for the League of Women Voters of New Mexico.
The League of Women Voters of New Mexico stands in strong support of the $500 Million budget request for the NM Housing Trust Fund in SB145.
According to two recent state and National studies the need for affordable housing in our State is at a critical juncture. This appropriation will provide the needed funding to rehabilitate or build new housing to help alleviate the current housing market supply crisis.
An important provision in SB145 provides for a 10% ten percent set aside to a municipality or county. This provides a strategic tool for local communities to directly address the housing needs in their community -- urban or rural.
The League urges the committee to give this bill/ SB145 a ‘do pass’ recommendation.
Thank you Senator Gonzales, for your leadership to ensure affordable housing options are available for all New Mexicans.
