Jeff Bingaman United States Senator from New Mexico

WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Jeff Bingaman today announced that the City of Santa Fe has been awarded a $625,163 grant through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to provide affordable housing and expand economic opportunities to low-income families.

Funding was awarded through HUD's Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), which aims to develop viable urban communities by providing decent housing and a suitable living environment, and by expanding economic opportunities, principally for low- and moderate-income persons.

"This funding will help Santa Fe expand affordable housing and economic opportunities to those who need it most," said Bingaman.
