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.”
