Housing

Supportive Housing Programs

Cuidando Los Niños follows a “Housing First” model, recognizing that families have a greater chance of overcoming adversity when they first have a stable home. Once housed, they can fully engage with our comprehensive support services, including workforce development, and family success planning.

To that end, Cuidando Los Niños is dedicated to guiding families through every step of the process, including:

Rapid rehousing to give families a safe place to live.

Home visits to follow up with goals, and ensure family stability.

Additional support to provide referrals and wellness support as needed.

Our rapid rehousing program combines rental support services to provide a multifaceted approach to stabilizing our families. Our client referrals come from NMCEH. Our city and federal funded rapid rehousing programs cover:

  • 6-12 months of paid rent (case-by-case basis)
  • Rental application fees
  • Rental deposits

In addition to helping the families who attend our preschool, our department also supports families with older children in the community who come to us through the coordinated entry system.

Our children and families deserve nothing less than our very best.
