Housing

HB 190 appropriates $1 million from the general fund to New Mexico's Workforce Solutions Department for fiscal year 2027 to provide eviction prevention and housing assistance specifically for LGBTQ+ individuals experiencing homelessness. The bill directly affects LGBTQ+ New Mexicans facing housing instability by funding targeted support services. Key provisions include mandatory use of funds for housing-related aid during 2027, with any unspent balance reverting to the general fund by year-end. The legislation focuses on concrete funding allocation without altering eligibility rules or creating new mandates.
