The Deming Headlight: Luna County OKs affordable housing ordinance
DEMING — Two of the three Luna County commissioners met in regular session on Nov. 16, with Commissioner Ray Trejo absent.
Commissioners John Sweetser and Colette Chandler approved an ordinance establishing application procedures for low- to moderate-income housing assistance grants or loans in order to comply with the state’s Affordable Housing Act.
County Manager Chris Brice said the county did not have plans to build or manage affordable housing projects. “There are entities that do that,” he said, such as the Tierra del Sol housing corporation.
