Home for All A Fair Housing Resource Webinar

This webinar hosted by the City of Albuquerque's Office of Equity and Inclusion on May 6, 2026, focused on Fair Housing Month and highlighted efforts to promote fair housing and combat discrimination. Key presentations covered the city's affordable housing initiatives, including funding allocations for new multi-family developments, rehabilitation of existing affordable units, mortgage assistance programs, and eviction prevention efforts. The Albuquerque Housing Authority detailed its rental assistance programs and upcoming affordable housing projects, while the New Mexico Office of Housing discussed state-level funding exceeding $154 million for housing and homelessness projects, including recent Requests for Information (RFIs) for housing development projects. New Mexico Legal Aid emphasized eviction defense and tenant rights education. The Office of Civil Rights outlined local protections against housing discrimination, including source of income protections, and encouraged reporting discrimination complaints. Policy discussions affirmed Albuquerque's housing-first approach and the city's commitment to housing as a human right. No specific contract awards or procurement decisions were announced, but the mention of RFIs indicates ongoing opportunities for housing development partnerships.
