Community Member Testimonials: 

 “I am so thankful for the New Mexico Eviction Prevention, " said David. “At the beginning of 2024, I lost my job, and it took much longer than I expected to find a new one. I quickly fell behind on rent, first one month, then almost two. I was terrified of losing my home and how that would affect my son. He had never seen his dad struggle like this.”

“One night, I searched the internet for help and filled out a form. By the next morning, New Mexico Eviction Prevention had already emailed and called me to get things in order. Their response was fast, and I felt supported right away.” 

“Thanks to NMEPD, I was able to keep my home and maintain stability for my family. I’m still in my home today.” “I will never forget what they did for me. They helped me protect my family during one of the hardest times of my life, and now I feel hopeful for the future.”

Introducing Community Justice Workers through New Mexico Eviction Prevention and Diversion (NMEPD)

Now available in Taos County and Rio Arriba County! June 4, 2025

 Referrals are being accepted for Community Justice Worker Services, through NMEPD. NMEPD’s Community Justice Workers conduct effective, culturally appropriate outreach to tenants in jeopardy of eviction due to non-payment of rent. Community Justice Workers engage tenants in empathetic, lived-experience-based assessment and action plan development. NMEPD’s focus is in on households most likely to become homeless, meaning very low-income, single mothers who are black/indigenous/people of color and their children, as well as immigrants, non-English speakers, older adults, those with disabilities or trauma. Community Justice Workers can provide informal shuttle mediation between landlords and tenants; and they can provide limited legal advice, assistance, tools, and guidance with attorney oversight. NMEPD can occasionally provide direct attorney representation.

Currently, NMEPD has no rental assistance dollars available for renters in Taos County and Rio Arriba County .
