ROSWELL HOUSING NM DEDUPLICATED RENTAL DIRECTORIES — ROSWELL. https://survey.housingnm.org/renters/subsidized-rental-properties#Roswell lists FOUR Roswell subsidized-property names: Cielo De Oro, Roswell Summit, Sunset 1600 and Wildewood. ALL FOUR names recur on https://survey.housingnm.org/renters/affordable-rental-properties#Roswell, which contains TEN Roswell entries in total (including one Pecos Valley Village SCATTERED-SITE group). Count TEN DISTINCT leads after de-duplication, NOT fourteen. Cielo De Oro's entries disagree on street number, ZIP and phone; preserve both claims, plus https://lacasahealth.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Cielo-De-Oro-Brochure-2025.pdf, instead of guessing an entrance. The directory describes its properties as managed by a MIX of authorities, nonprofits and private entities; Housing New Mexico does not own or manage them. It does not attribute these ten to one authority. 1. Cielo De Oro Senior Housing Apartments (BOTH directories, one record) — Housing NM subsidized: 1600 W Hendricks St, 88201; affordable: 1700 W Hendricks St, 88203; 2025 La Casa brochure: 1700 W Hendricks St, 88201. The two Housing New Mexico directories appear to name the SAME Cielo De Oro senior-housing property but conflict on its STREET NUMBER, ZIP and PHONE: subsidized list says 1600 W Hendricks St, NM 88201, 575-622-4146; affordable list says 1700 W Hendricks St, NM 88203, 505-753-9611. A 2025 La Casa Community Behavioral Health https://lacasahealth.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Cielo-De-Oro-Brochure-2025.pdf independently gives 1700 W Hendricks, NM 88201 for a New Mexico Special Needs Housing program at this community, contact 575-755-2272 or coordinator 575-625-6212. That brochure describes a referral/service-provider pathway for SPECIAL-NEEDS apartments, including certain disabilities or homelessness, not eligibility or vacancy for EVERY unit. It does not establish a numeric age threshold just because the directory calls the community “Senior.” Do not map a single doorway, rely on the conflicting directory phones as current, or quote the brochure's historic dollar limits as today's income cap until the operator confirms.

Housing New Mexico explicitly labels this a SCATTERED SITE with no residential street number, count or apartment-specific application.

Roswell Summit Apartments (BOTH directories, one record) — 1100 S Wyoming Ave, Roswell, NM 88203; directory phone 575-622-4646. Appears at the SAME address and phone on both Housing New Mexico city lists (the subsidized list abbreviates it as 1100 S. Wyoming). This is ONE property, not two additive apartment sites. The directories provide no unit count, price, or current vacancy.

Listed only in the affordable-rental city section; confirm current owner, income limits, screening, rate and opening directly. Source https://survey.housingnm.org/renters/affordable-rental-properties#Roswell New Mexico authority (not Georgia): https://sharenm.org/eastern-regional-housing-authority-hud identifies Eastern Regional Housing Authority (also called Region VI) at 106 E Reed St, Roswell, NM 88203, telephone 575-622-0881, as a local public-housing/rental-assistance contact. This is an OFFICE, not a residence or evidence it manages any of the ten directory properties. Search results for “Roswell Housing Authority” may lead to a DIFFERENT authority in Roswell, GEORGIA, whose properties, 770 phone number and waitlist statements must never be assigned to New Mexico. Contact the NM authority for a current property roster and program-specific application status; neither Housing New Mexico list gives an authority-managed apartment inventory or current authority waitlist status. Applications, screening, and source limitations: https://survey.housingnm.org/renters/subsidized-rental-properties#Roswell says subsidized tenants generally pay a share of income, but actual unit criteria and rates must be checked with each provider; its guidance says application/screening FEES are prohibited for properties covered by that subsidized-rental guidance, and a deposit can be required when signing a lease. https://survey.housingnm.org/renters/affordable-rental-properties#Roswell describes separate income-restricted rentals priced under program guidelines; do not assume every affordable-list property has the same rental subsidy or fee rule as a subsidized-list property. Both sources instruct applicants to CALL or visit the individual operator to ask about income limits, rent, openings, waitlists and applications. They warn that household composition, credit, rental history and a background check can matter; they do not verify whether any particular conviction would be approved. A directory appearance or brochure is NOT an open apartment or current phone verification. Reviewed September 29, 2026.
