Southwest Neighborhood Housing Services, Inc.
Albuquerque, NM
Southwest Neighborhood Housing Services seeks to serve individuals and families by creating quality affordable housing, and providing technical, educational and financial counseling assistance that strengthens communities in New Mexico and Texas.
Incorporated in 1975, Southwest Neighborhood Housing Services (SWNHS) was built on the dreams and determination of a handful of downtown residents. These hard working community members believed in the ability of local residents, financial institutions, businesses, and local government to come together to identify community needs and plan successful strategies to address them. That belief created and has sustained SWNHS over a 30 year history of success. Affordable housing is a primary mission of the organization.
With that in mind, SWNHS has conducted home buyer education and counseling for 1,040 families in 2005. As a result, we have assisted 900 families to become successful home owners, doubling their efforts each year over the last three years. SWNHS also has worked with local developers to build 20 new affordable homes over the last two years and has established partnerships that will make as many as 200 new affordable homes available over the next three years.
SWNHS is dedicated to reversing neighborhood decline. We are committed to upgrading existing housing, as well as providing low-interest loans, information and referrals. Our clients receive financial and technical counseling. SWNHS serves the residents of the Board designated target areas in and around Bernalillo, Valencia, Sandoval and Torrance counties.
