Section 8 & HUD affordable housing across New Mexico
Browse 33 counties and 17 small towns and rural communities in New Mexico. Each page lists FY2024 Fair Market Rent for studio–4BR units, HUD income limits at 30/50/80% of AMI, and the housing authority that processes Section 8 vouchers locally.
How HUD housing data is organized in New Mexico
HUD publishes Fair Market Rent and income limits at the county or metropolitan area level, not the city level — so two towns inside the same New Mexico county will share the same FMR ceiling and the same income-eligibility brackets. That's why this directory leads with counties: the county page is the single most useful starting point for anyone navigating the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program in non-metro New Mexico.
Below you'll find every county in New Mexico, separated into rural / non-metro counties (where this site focuses) and larger or metro counties. After the county lists, scroll down for the alphabetized index of small towns and unincorporated communities we cover in this state.
