Jeff Bingaman United States Senator from New Mexico

WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Jeff Bingaman announced today that the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development is releasing $294,000 he secured for Las Cumbres Community Services Facility in Española.

The nonprofit will use the funding, which Bingaman secured in a fiscal year 2008 spending bill, for the construction of a new facility to house child and family services, adult services, respite care, and the Early Childhood Mental Health Training Institute.  The facility will also include meeting rooms that will be open to the public.

"Las Cumbres Community Services provided vital support assistance to residents of Northern New Mexico.  The funding released today will help it expand and reach out to more people," Bingaman said.
