Frequently Asked Questions

2. How would I go about obtaining needed assistance?

The process first begins with filling out an application. You can stop by our office for a paper application or fill one out on the above tab "apply here". Feel free to contact us by phone at 

575-941-2022. Once your request has been submitted, someone from our team will be contacting you shortly to start the process of collecting your documentation.

 

Once all your documents have been received, we will assign you a case manager who will contact you within 48 business hours. Our case managers will need to do an interview with you to assess your need and go over all your documents. After the interview we will determine if you are eligible for assistance or if you will need to provide any extra documentation to further assist. Not everyone will received assistance. This is based on our budget for the month and the needs of our clients.
