Hello!

This screening tool is designed to give Albuquerque renters a faster way to see what forms of assistance they may be eligible for and start the application process sooner.

Please Note: There is no guarantee we'll be able to match you to a funding source.

Catholic Charities receives significantly more requests for assistance than there are available funds. This forms helps connect you with any sources that may be available to your household, but be sure to continue exploring other options for assistance in the event we aren't able to provide you with any financial assistance. Once you finish the screening, you'll receive an email with additional details and options. Please answer the questions below to begin the screening process. If the screening determines that you're eligible for a specific funding source, you may be asked to complete additional documentation.

Your information will be used solely for eligibility determination and will not be shared without your permission. All data is stored securely.

IMPORTANT: The assistance program is intended to provide assistance for people experiencing a short-term unforeseen emergency. Clients must demonstrate that the assistance will stabilize their housing crisis going forward. Clients must have a clear path forward to stability with the assistance from the grant.
