MESILLA VALLEY MVPHA COMMUNITIES AND HOUSING NM LAS CRUCES — ANTHONY. https://www.mvpha.org/communities.aspx has ELEVEN named MVPHA community cards across Las Cruces, Anthony and Hatch, with 719 summed card-level units (NOT all one program or a confirmed complete agency portfolio). https://www.mvpha.org/programs.aspx separately reports 248 low-rent public-housing units and nine LIHTC developments totaling 643 units; its broader list includes sites not pictured on the eleven-card community page, so do NOT force the 719 subtotal to equal either program figure or treat all 719 as public housing. The three named public-housing cards (San Pedro Place 38, Tres Arboles 64, Walnut Grove 100) sum to 202, not the reported 248; do not invent where the other 46 reside. https://survey.housingnm.org/renters/subsidized-rental-properties#Las_Cruces identifies SIX Las Cruces subsidized housing entries: Abode Group Home; Burley Court Apartments; Doña Ana Park Apartments; Highland Park Apartments; Montana Meadows; and Robledo Ridge Apartments. Housing New Mexico explicitly says its directory mixes housing authorities, nonprofits, companies and private owners; it does NOT own/manage any of them. Burley Court at 1401 Burley Ct is the same site MVPHA calls Jardines Verdes; Robledo Ridge at 1519 Medina Dr appears on BOTH directories. Do not double-count either. Abode Group Home at 999 W Amador, phone 575-523-2219, is listed as a GROUP HOME without individual rental units, eligibility or ordinary apartment intake documented here: keep it as a contact-only housing lead, not an apartment card. The other three directory apartments are NOT identified as MVPHA communities on https://www.mvpha.org/communities.aspx. Reviewed September 29, 2026. 1. Cimmaron II (MVPHA; 84 units) — 825 N 4th St. MVPHA's Anthony, NM affordable-housing community has 84 units. Its programs page lists Cimmaron II among its LIHTC developments. The community card gives no bedroom mix, available apartment or current waitlist status; do not confuse it with Cimmaron I, a separate program-list item lacking a community card and residential address on these pages. Source https://www.mvpha.org/communities.aspx Program-specific waitlists and applications: https://www.mvpha.org/waitlists.aspx currently shows an OPEN Jardines Verdes Section 8 multifamily waitlist for one- and two-bedroom homes for elderly OR disabled households. For PUBLIC HOUSING overall, only bedroom-size lists ONE, THREE and FIVE are open; zero, two and four are CLOSED. Neither statement proves an immediate apartment vacancy or that a given public-housing building offers each size. MVPHA's HCV/Section 8 voucher waitlist and Desert Hope Apartments waitlist are CLOSED. For public housing, https://www.mvpha.org/waitlists.aspx links the online applicant portal https://www.pha-web.com/portals/onlineApplication/1574 and says to provide household names, Social Security numbers, birthdates and incomes, plus HUD Form 92006 to the office/drop box or publichousing@mvpha.org; at least one household member must have qualifying immigration status. Contact 575-528-2000 or visit 926 S San Pedro St, Las Cruces; report address changes promptly. Ask staff about other affordable properties' separate current intake routes. Screening and source limitations: https://survey.housingnm.org/renters/subsidized-rental-properties#Las_Cruces says individual subsidized-property operators may check household composition, credit, rental history and background, and the property may have additional requirements. It says application and screening fees are PROHIBITED for properties covered by its guidance and says a security deposit may be required at lease signing. These general statements do NOT establish that a person with a particular conviction qualifies at MVPHA or at any individually listed property. Request each provider's current written screening rules and reasonable accommodations; do not infer a blanket felony approval. Reviewed September 29, 2026.
