MESILLA VALLEY MVPHA COMMUNITIES AND HOUSING NM LAS CRUCES — LAS-CRUCES. 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. Almendra (MVPHA; 18 units) — 1420 S Almendra St. MVPHA labels this an Affordable Housing property with 18 one- and two-bedroom units. Its community card does not state a current vacancy, rent, income tier or site-specific intake status. Source https://www.mvpha.org/communities.aspx 2. Desert Palms (MVPHA; 100 units) — 2407 W Picacho Ave (MVPHA community card); older city sheet says 2405 W Picacho Ave. MVPHA calls this a 100-unit affordable-housing development, listed among its LIHTC sites at 2407 W Picacho Ave. The older https://lascruces.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/SUBSIDIZED-HOUSING-ASSISTANCE-LIST-ADA.pdf instead gives 2405 W Picacho Ave, two- and three-bedroom units and a contact at 575-523-4138. Preserve BOTH street-number claims and confirm the residential entrance before placing a map pin. Neither source establishes a current vacancy. Source https://www.mvpha.org/communities.aspx 3. Jardines Verdes (MVPHA; 40 units) — 1401 Burley Ct. MVPHA labels this a FORTY-unit Section 8 New Construction/MULTIFAMILY community with one- and two-bedroom units. Housing New Mexico calls the same 1401 Burley Court address “Burley Court Apartments” (575-528-2017); do not count that directory alias as a second property. https://www.mvpha.org/waitlists.aspx says its separate 1- and 2-bedroom waitlist is OPEN for elderly OR disabled households, chosen in submission-date/time order; one bedroom is for 1–2 people and two bedrooms for 2–4. Apply through MVPHA's linked online portal and confirm current eligibility and vacancies with the agency. An open waitlist does not establish an open apartment. Source https://www.mvpha.org/communities.aspx 4. Montana Senior Village (MVPHA; 48 units) — 305 Montana Ave. MVPHA lists this as a 48-unit affordable-housing/LIHTC community at 305 Montana Ave. Its Senior name does not establish a particular numeric age threshold. This is NOT the separately listed Montana Meadows apartments at 201 Montana Ave; do not merge their addresses or counts. Current availability and site-specific intake are not published on the community card. Source https://www.mvpha.org/communities.aspx 5. Robledo Ridge (MVPHA; 71 units) — 1519 Medina Dr. MVPHA calls this a 71-unit affordable-housing/LIHTC community at 1519 Medina Dr. Housing New Mexico separately lists “Robledo Ridge Apartments” at this same address and gives 575-556-9820; this is ONE location, not two additive properties. Neither page proves current vacancy, unit mix or an open property-specific waiting list. Source https://www.mvpha.org/communities.aspx 6. San Pedro Place (MVPHA; 38 units) — 926 S San Pedro St. MVPHA explicitly identifies 38 public-housing units here for elderly/disabled residents. The SAME numbered address also appears as MVPHA's administrative office; unlike a generic office listing, the official communities page confirms a residential development at this address. Confirm the correct residential entrance with the agency. The authority's public-housing waitlist is open for one-, three- and five-bedroom SIZES in its total portfolio, but this does NOT prove a site-specific one-bedroom opening at San Pedro Place. Source https://www.mvpha.org/communities.aspx 7. Stone Mountain Place (MVPHA; 84 units) — 930 E Boutz Rd. MVPHA lists this 84-unit affordable-housing/LIHTC community. Its community card does not give a bedroom mix, rent, vacancy or site-specific waitlist status. Source https://www.mvpha.org/communities.aspx 8. Tres Arboles (MVPHA; 64 units) — 1011 Ash Avenue. MVPHA lists this 64-unit multifamily PUBLIC HOUSING community. The community page's map link is only a page anchor, so preserve its printed 1011 Ash Avenue address without claiming a verified map destination. The public-housing program has open one-, three- and five-bedroom waitlist categories, but MVPHA does not assign those bedroom counts or an immediate vacancy to Tres Arboles on this page. Source https://www.mvpha.org/communities.aspx 9. Walnut Grove (MVPHA; 100 units) — 1091 S Walnut St. MVPHA lists this 100-unit multifamily PUBLIC HOUSING community. Its printed street address is 1091 S Walnut St. The public-housing program has open one-, three- and five-bedroom waitlist categories, but MVPHA does not assign those bedroom counts or an immediate vacancy to Walnut Grove on this page.

Housing New Mexico lists this subsidized apartment lead at 1900 N Solano Drive, phone 575-524-2524. A https://lascruces.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/SUBSIDIZED-HOUSING-ASSISTANCE-LIST-ADA.pdf lists one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments; no unit count or current rent/opening is established by these sources.

Montana Meadows (Housing NM independent lead) — 201 Montana Ave. Housing New Mexico lists this subsidized apartment lead at 201 Montana Ave, phone 575-524-1873. A https://lascruces.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/SUBSIDIZED-HOUSING-ASSISTANCE-LIST-ADA.pdf describes one-bedroom housing for elderly, handicapped or disabled applicants WITHOUT a numeric age rule; confirm its current eligibility. It is NOT the distinct MVPHA Montana Senior Village at 305 Montana Ave, and it is not on MVPHA's https://www.mvpha.org/communities.aspx list. No count, rent, screening rule or current vacancy is established. Source https://survey.housingnm.org/renters/subsidized-rental-properties#Las_Cruces 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.
