Trumbull Village Housing Project

 

Partnership with the Greater Albuquerque Housing Partnership

As a result of its work and connection in the SE Heights of Albuquerque, St. Joseph Community Health was able to connect the Greater Albuquerque Housing Partnership, a nonprofit housing partnership, with its parent company Catholic Health Initiatives to obtain a loan through CHI’s Direct Community Investment Program.  CHI provided $900,000 in financing to support the GAHP’s redevelopment efforts in the SE Heights Trumbull neighborhood.  14 affordable homes are being built in Trumbull Village, addressing one of the social determinants of health – Housing.  GAHP will work with community organizations to prepare local community residents to become first-time home buyers.  This development has set the stage for other affordable housing initiatives.  The City of Albuquerque has purchased lots for 60 additional new homes in Trumbull Village, and other groups are talking about building town homes for older adults.
