ALAMOGORDO HOUSING NM THREE AFFORDABLE RENTAL LEADS — ALAMOGORDO. The URL supplied as “subsided-rental-properties” is misspelled; the working https://survey.housingnm.org/renters/subsidized-rental-properties#Alamogordo has NO Alamogordo city section or property entries. That absence is NOT proof that the city's other rentals receive no subsidy. https://survey.housingnm.org/renters/affordable-rental-properties#Alamogordo has EXACTLY THREE Alamogordo entries: Azotea Senior Apartments, Cottonwood Commons and Otero Village Apartments. The currently marketed “Cielo at Alamogordo” at Otero Village's exact address is an alias, NOT a fourth Housing NM listing. Housing NM describes a MIX of property operators; these three directory entries are not an Alamogordo Housing Authority property roster. 1. Azotea Senior Apartments — 2400 E First St, Alamogordo, NM 88310; contact 575-437-5465. The https://survey.housingnm.org/renters/affordable-rental-properties#Alamogordo directory identifies this as a senior apartment community and provides the address and phone. It does NOT specify a minimum age, confirmed unit count, rent, current vacancy, property operator or screening rules. Third-party advertisements use “62+” but this has not been confirmed against a current operator eligibility document; ask the property for its actual age and income requirements before applying.

The directory lists 1220 Jefferson St and 575-434-2036. Developer Tierra Realty's https://tierrarealty.com/cottonwood-commons page independently confirms 1220 Jefferson, describing a 60-unit affordable FAMILY development built in 2005, with a solar-powered community building and community gardens. These are existing homes, not 60 openings. The developer's project page does not confirm today's leasing manager, income bands, rate or phone; verify those directly.

Otero Village Apartments (Cielo at Alamogordo) — 2553 E First St, Alamogordo, NM 88310; contact 915-503-1759. The https://survey.housingnm.org/renters/affordable-rental-properties#Alamogordo directory names “Otero Village Apartments” at 2553 E First St with 575-437-0498. The same-address current https://properties.jaxontexas.com/otero-village leasing site still uses “otero-village” in its URL but now calls the community “Cielo at Alamogordo,” listing a DIFFERENT contact, 915-503-1759, and 40 existing two-/three-bedroom apartments. It advertises a laundry room, basketball court and dog park. These are two names for ONE location, not additional housing. The manager's advertised rents and unit availability can change; it does NOT clearly establish which units, if any, currently qualify under the directory's income restrictions or whether an applicant's background passes screening. Confirm current affordable-program eligibility, deposits, rent, openings and written screening with the manager. Source https://survey.housingnm.org/renters/affordable-rental-properties#Alamogordo; https://properties.jaxontexas.com/otero-village Local authority and applications: https://sharenm.org/city-of-alamogordo-housing-authority lists Housing Authority of the City of Alamogordo at 104 Avenida Amigos, Alamogordo, NM 88310, phone 575-437-5621, and describes low-income housing assistance and possible preferences (including documented disability or age 62+); those are its AGENCY program descriptions, not the age/screening rules of these three independently listed apartments. The address is the authority contact, not an apartment lead in either supplied directory. A city https://mcclibraryfunctions-stage.azurewebsites.us/api/ordinanceDownload/10991/1168753/pdf effective August 19, 2022 approved transferring the authority to Eastern Regional Housing Authority, explicitly CONTINGENT on final HUD approval. The accessible https://www.hud.gov/sites/dfiles/PIH/documents/PHA_Contact_Report_NM.pdf lists Alamogordo's NM004 agency at 104 Avenida Amigos, while https://m.housingnm.org/community_development/regional-housing-authorities names Otero County in Eastern Regional's service area; without a confirmed update date or HUD transfer decision these facts do NOT establish whether or when the proposed legal transfer was finalized. No reliable, dated current waitlist status or residential roster linking the authority to any of the three was verified. Call 575-437-5621 for current agency identity, site list, applications, written eligibility and waitlist status. Screening, fees and limits: https://survey.housingnm.org/renters/affordable-rental-properties#Alamogordo describes individually managed, income-restricted affordable housing whose household, income, credit, rental history and background criteria can differ by property. It instructs renters to call the property for current income limits, rates, openings and application procedures. Since the https://survey.housingnm.org/renters/subsidized-rental-properties#Alamogordo has no Alamogordo entries, do NOT apply that directory's subsidized-specific no-application-fee rule to any of these three without property confirmation. Neither the presence of a marketing application button nor a listed inventory proves a vacant apartment, a current affordable unit, or approval for a specific criminal history.
