Desert Hope Apartments, a 40-unit permanent supportive housing development in Las Cruces, held its grand opening on August 5, 2021. Desert Hope aligns with MFA’s vision by providing permanent, service-enriched supportive housing for formerly homeless individuals in the Mesilla Valley.
Because Desert Hope Apartments participates in HUD's HOME program for rental housing, at least some of the units in this property are set aside for persons at or below 60% of the AMI and rents are capped at the local FMR and in many cases much lower. As this property appears not to have a project-based subsidy or any other Federal assistance, you likely will have to pay your own rent, albeit, at a lower rent amount thanks to the HOME program. Since this property participates in the HOME program, the property is required to accept Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers.
