is dedicated to working closely with Albuquerque neighborhoods

Creating the American dream is our most important goal.
 Incorporated
in 1975, Southwest Neighborhood Housing Services 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.
