Protecting homes already serving New Mexicans
Montana Meadows and Wildewood Apartments were constructed in 1978 and 1979, respectively. Although both communities remain occupied, many major building systems are nearing the end of their useful lives. The investment will finance rehabilitation needed to extend the life of the infrastructure and preserve affordability for current and future residents. Preserving existing affordable housing is particularly critical because it protects homes that are already being used by community members.
The rehabilitation work will take place while communities remain occupied, with temporary relocation for residents during construction. Rehabilitation is expected to be completed in late 2027.
Connecting seniors with services that support independence
Each community will continue to have a full-time resident services coordinator on-site. The coordinators work with residents to identify needs, develop personalized plans and connect with local resources. Services include help accessing health care, financial education, meal delivery and other services that support independent living for seniors.
Resident services coordinators also make referrals to health care providers and organize wellness and educational programming. Two U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development grants help fund this work across the two communities.
The communities also include on-site management offices, community rooms, laundry facilities and dog parks. Both locations are near public transportation and essential services, helping residents access resources they need to live independently.
