Today is Thursday, Aug. 21 and Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham just dropped
some serious news.

The Land of Enchantment is about to distribute a whopping $120 million
across the state for housing and homelessness programs, and it's
happening *this
month*.

The Governor’s Office says thousands of families are about to hit the
jackpot with affordable housing and support services. Albuquerque is
getting the lion's share with $80+ million, but don't worry Las Cruces and
other communities – there's plenty of love (and dollars) to go around.
