The Supportive Housing Coalition of New Mexico is a statewide non-profit housing organization incorporated in 1996. Based in Albuquerque, the Coalition represents a formal collaboration among some of New Mexico’s oldest and most respected providers of homeless and behavioral health services. The agency develops, owns and manages a variety of affordable supportive housing options for homeless and near homeless individuals who suffer from severe mental illness, while our community partners refer and place residents and offer a comprehensive range of supportive services that, in combination, optimizes their health, recovery, independence and housing stability. Today, the Coalition provides over 350 units of housing through new construction, property acquisition, rehabilitation, management, and the administration of tenant based rental assistance vouchers.
Our mission is to prevent and reduce homelessness and to increase the quality of life for people with behavioral health issues in New Mexico by creating affordable, supportive housing in partnership with local communities and member agencies.
We strive to:
• create and manage the most affordable, supportive and highest quality housing possible for homeless, low-income, disabled and those at-risk of homelessness;
• advance the success of residents by keeping them permanently housed and linked to a comprehensive array of individually tailored supportive services;
• include community input in the design and operations of our housing; and
• use local suppliers and labor, and green building materials whenever possible.
