The Importance of Housing

Housing is not only a significant component of the economy of the Tri-County area of Otero, Bent and Crowley; it is pivotal to the area's long-term competitiveness. Tri-County Housing and Community Development Corporation will continue to serve as a willing partner with the areas various towns and agencies and continue our commitment of providing professional expertise in various housing programs, grant writing, housing management services, and community projects to all of our past and future partners. Our mission will continue to ensure an adequate supply of housing is available and affordable for all residents of Tri-County and continue to pursue worthwhile community projects that enhance the historical and tourism interest of the area.
