Housing and foreclosure assistance from New New Mexico Mortgage Finance Authority.
A number of housing and mortgage programs are administered by the New Mexico Mortgage Finance Authority. Their primary goal is to help low to moderate income people either get into a home, and also keep one. So they offer first time homebuyer programs, free foreclosure prevention, credit counseling, and all the other services that it takes to meet those goals.

This assistance is provided as part of the ARRA Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Rehousing Program. A number of local charities and non-profits across New Mexico accept applications and run the program at the local town, city, and county level. This general housing can even include finding temporary shelters and housing for individuals if they have no other options available to them.

Additional housing programs from New Mexico Mortgage Finance Authority
The two that are most frequency in demand are listed above, and they are the mortgage assistance and foreclosure prevention services and counseling offered to the low to moderate income. However, that is not all that the NM Finance Authority does.
Repairs to homes - Low income homeowners can get rates or very low interest rate loans. The program basically provides assistance to low to moderate income homeowners who lack the funds to make improvements or repair their own homes. It can provide energy related improvements and other aid to ensure the home is safe to live in.
First time homebuyer programs - If you are buying a new home for the first time, you may be able to receive below interest rate loans as part of the HERO or the MortgageSaver program. Many of the loans may be FHA government loans, but some are also provided by the state of New Mexico or private banks and lenders.
Call the New Mexico Mortgage Finance Authority at (505) 843-6880 to learn more about any of these mortgage or foreclosure programs.
