Jeff Bingaman United States Senator from New Mexico

WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Jeff Bingaman today announced that Tierra del Sol Housing Corporation has been awarded a $983,089 Self-Help Home Ownership Opportunity Program grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

The New Mexico nonprofit can use the funding to purchase home sites and develop or improve the infrastructure needs as part of its homeownership program, which makes it possible for low-income residents to purchase a home while remaining on solid financial ground.

"Tierra del Sol has been instrumental in helping rural New Mexico families fulfill their dreams of become first-time homeowners.  This funding will help Tierra de Sol continue its important work," Bingaman said.
