1. AGENDA ITEM 1.1 2026-2030 CONSOLIDATED PLAN & HOUSING NEEDS ASSESSMENT

PRELIMINARY FINDINGS Natalie Green, Housing and Neighborhood Revitalization Administrator introduced the topic.

Avilia Bueno, Root Policy gave the overhead presentation.

Heidi Aggeler, Root Policy gave the overhead presentation.

Avilia Bueno continued the overhead presentation.

Heidi Aggeler continued the overhead presentation.

Councilor Harris said very interesting presentation, it is nice to see kind of the general feeling of living in this town with some actual numbers behind it. So, on slide 4, our packet here is one off from yours, so 14 or 15 maybe? I think this should be a pretty eye-opening slide for everyone who lives or wants to live in town that nobody can afford a median home in this town. That is kind of the takeaway unless you have two incomes and then only in certain industries. I personally would struggle to afford my own house again. I bought it in 2017, and it would be very challenging for me to afford that at its current value. So, I think that is very eye opening and I want to let the true meaning of the slide sink in. So, I guess related to that I think on 15, so when we are talking about the gaps here. I think you said that in, so 121 and over 150% AMI, there

is red numbers which are a negative gap which means that if theoretically if we had more high end, higher end units that there are folks that would be able to afford $2,000 month of rent and would pay it and if we had 3,000 more luxury apartments like they would move there instead of where they are currently at and that those would trickle down?

Heidi Aggeler said to answer that question there is quite an ongoing debate about that. Whether or not something called filtering. Would people move into the right priced housing for their income if those units were available? A lot of times with folks who are earning that much money they tend to rent down because they are saving.

They are trying to get a down payment and save for a house. They may have childcare needs. They have medical needs. So, in theory, yes there is an opportunity to provide housing at that level. Whether or not people would take advantage of that and move into those higher priced units would be their personal preference.

Councilor Harris said that is kind of what I was thinking. I rented for a very long time and I kind of did that personally. I moved up at the time what was a very expensive apartment for town which is now barely on this list, which is quite unfortunate. I was just asking what the takeaway should be and I am hearing that is probably not what the takeaway should be because it is debatable and I think from my own personal experience I would agree that is probably not what we should take away from this.

With that in mind, what would you say some of the blockers are if we wanted to create housing at a certain price point? Do you have suggestions about what we can do or is that not really the scope of this report?

Heidi Aggeler said it is in the scope and it is forthcoming as we wrap up the affordable housing plan. It is not necessarily captured in the HUD document or required in the

HUD document because that is real specific to those funding sources. City has an investment strategy that has guided its work over the last few years that I think is fair to say that has been very successful. The city has been really strategic about using city dollars and also state dollars, applying for funds, leveraging those and then keeping that money flowing by trying to structure properties in a way that they don’t have so much debt that you can roll over those grant funds and keep applying and keep building homes. So I would argue that the city’s recent track record of investing in the right types of housing and building housing that is needed and I think that

Natalie can speak more to the lease upgrades but I would argue that they are showing that is very successful in addition to continuing to invest in low income home ownership opportunities to create more stable housing and move people into home ownership who want to achieve that are really central to being able to meet needs.

That 0 to 30% though in those truly housing unstable folks who are moving a lot who are precariously housed need both housing and supportive services. So, they need a little more of a sort of a bigger package of delivery of housing so public services are key for that. One of I would say challenges is to being able to meet their needs in particular is the federal funds that came in after the pandemic to stabilize the economy were really useful and were put to great use for a lot of the different housing opportunities. Those obviously are going away. There may not be funds like that in the future so they are just the funding constraint to be able to continue the good work the city is doing particularly from the federal level I think will be a big challenge.

Councilor Harris asked more broadly speaking are there policies that the city should consider enacting to stabilize prices or to influence the private markets of housing? I guess back to the affordability example, that apartment that I lived in, when I moved in the rent actually went down in the 9 years that I lived there since then it has doubled and that owner built the property with a certain business model and certain rents and like I said during that time they reevaluated everybody’s rents and were like you know what, maybe we don’t actually need to be charging some fees that we are charging and got rid of those and then in 8 eight years they were like cool, rent is now twice as expensive.

Heidi Aggeler said Avilia will talk a little bit about this but one of the things that you can do which she acknowledges is keeping up with demands, so you have to have a really good job which is pretty unusual relative to a lot of cities in building and permitting units and keeping up with your household growth. We talked a little bit earlier about some of the comments that she had received from interviews that she has done. Avilia is doing work in Santa Fe as well where we had developers say just model Las Cruces, Las Cruces’ new comprehensive plan in your code. We have some minor recommendations for changes to the code which will come out with the affordable housing plan but for the most part it feels like those changes have been very well received and you are seeing that in the return of appropriate development.

Councilor Harris said that is great to hear and yea I think the new code is a model for cities everywhere and it sounds like we are getting that feedback. So, I guess to that end, so some of the highest needs were repairs, interior and exterior repairs, I guess what are the blockers there? Is it more money? Is it permitting? Is it, I want to add on a little bit but it is hard to get it permitted or maybe it was difficult to get it through the new code or maybe we are doing stuff that is helping now.

Heidi Aggeler said we asked people, why haven’t the repairs been made and most people say I couldn’t afford it. Occasionally among renters people say they are afraid to tell the property owner for fear of being evicted or their rent increase so there is a segment of the renter population, largely low-income renters who will just tolerate units in fair or poor condition because they are afraid their rent will go up.

Councilor Harris said that is something I hope to be in the report and something I want to look at is ways that we can kind of encourage landlords to improve their properties but at the same time assuage fears of rent increases and make sure that if we want people to live in a certain minimum standard that is not an excuse for somebody to be like well, I need to spend an extra $1,000 to upgrade this unit so I am going to double your rent. We want to make sure that doesn’t happen, but it would be interesting to see in your report.

Councilor Corran said super interesting information I think in terms of compelling us to keep moving forward and I know I really appreciate hearing/seeing the affordability index. I hear that from my students all the time, I will never buy a house, that is not a thing that will happen for me, and I teach at the Community College and that is pretty depressing you know especially when in theory you are training folks to get a better

wage but that wage will never match the cost of buying a home and it is a bleak picture that I am glad that we are making efforts to address but I was wondering if you could speak about two specific things or one thing and then a secondary thing. I think

HOME and CDBG, are both up for some discussion in the federal sort of funding area.

Just right now I am wondering if you can talk a little bit about what that means in our context specifically or if you have a sense for what that means in our context and then secondarily I think part of the question about mobile homes and/or livability in places that may not be traditional homes in the way that we think of them or large apartment complexes in the ways that we think of them. I don’t know that they have the same access to certain types of funding or support historically or if I misunderstand that but

I don’t think that we can use some of that federal funding in the case of supporting people who have mobile homes the same way we could for someone who has a home that they are trying to improve or make more livable that is on a foundation so I am wondering if you can talk about those two things? The federal funding thing and then also a little bit about mobile homes. I think we have a little bit of a spot in our plan or work that mobile home folks are really particularly vulnerable in a lot of cases so I am hoping that you can talk a little bit more about that.

Heidi Aggeler said I would also like to acknowledge what not in the slides or survey slides that I presented today. We do ask renters about the barriers to home ownership and we have got quite a bit of detail there and it is inability to come up with down payment assistance is a big one and so there are programs that you can utilize for that or I am afraid I won’t be able to afford a mortgage payment. On the federal bill there are two bills in congress right now. One is the Housing for the 21st Century, which I think was the house bill and the Road to Home, I may get this a little off in the

Senate. Those are moving forward. I think they are in reconciliation, I might be wrong about that but your Mayor is probably there and would know and is probably involved with this. A couple of things that those do is, I think they would codify CDBGDR, which is the disaster recovery portion of it which we haven’t talked about disaster risk. We do acknowledge that quite a bit in the consolidated plan and we talk to County folks about it as we were preparing this plan so codifying CDBGDR is huge because that would allow CDBG dollars to come in and address a lot of rehabilitation, rebuilding infrastructure. There are some modest changes to CDBG and this is a point of much reconciliation that broadens CDBG to be able to use to invest in housing activities more. One, the Senate bill actually ties the continued receipt of CDBG to making progress on housing supply so it has a penalty if for communities and I just saw an analysis a couple of weeks ago that looked at the communities where dollars would be taken away. Las Cruces is one of those to my memory, but it would penalize communities that are not keeping up with housing supply and take away in some of their CDBG. So, it does have a pretty aggressive, this type of thinking around CDBG as a home ownership tool has not occurred to my knowledge since the program was put into place in the 70s. There is some positives there. There is also a lot of reform for HOME. HOME is a complicated program that is difficult to use and in my understanding, there is some reforms that would make Home a little more efficient.

Councilor Corran said thank you, I just wanted to follow up because that is a big topic of conversation and why we have to keep on, I think thinking about this in this context.

Natalie Green said we can use some of our CDBG to work on mobile homes. We

primarily do ADA ramp improvements for that. We could look at and we have thrown around a replacement program for mobile homes, we just want to make sure that if we take out a mobile home and put a new one that somehow the other one is disposed of or eliminated from the housing market in its entirety. We just don’t want to see those get recycled in the open market in the future and then we would have to retool the home rehab program and it be almost we would have to put some thought into it because we currently secured the repairs of our home rehab program against the property and so we would have to structure it a little bit differently for mobile homes in a mobile home park. It is not outside of the possibility we would just have to figure it out.

Councilor Corran said I am not necessarily saying that I think we should embark on a new venture, I just think it is an area where hearing some of what has been reflected here and thinking about what is going on with some of the most vulnerable people that

I have heard from my district there is a lot of exploitation and fluidity in the mobile home market that leads to people being in even more tenuous housing situations down the road.

Councilor Bencomo said thank you so much for your work on this, just having lots of thoughts about what all of this means and how we can put it to good use. I think there is a couple of takeaways for me that I will name before I just have a couple of questions. I feel like for me the two biggest takeaways are access, regardless of income that there is just not enough. There is just not enough rental units, whether it is affordable units or fair price units for people who can afford the higher end apartments if you will. So just like access to actual quantity. The second one is access because of economic anxiety, and I spoke briefly about this at the Budget Retreat around and maybe not so much around policies and ordinances that will incentivize more building because I think we already did that with Realize but really more policies and programs that go towards economic mobility of our community. Page 8, our page

8, the fact that in the survey here was 36% had a household income of less than

25,000 to me is deeply concerning and I think that to me poverty is a policy choice.

Like I deeply believe that is true and what else could we be doing to improve the quality of life and the economic mobility of so many of our families, whether they are their families, they are single folks whoever or they are single parents, people who are living in overcrowded households, whatever the case is that that to me feels like a huge undertaking that we really must explore and that is probably outside of the scope of your work with us but I think that is important for us as council and city management and Natalie and a lot of us here to really try to tackle because that to me is deeply concerning and we will probably see even more why in the economic outlook after this and then you know as I think about things like the Family Prosperity

Program which I am a huge advocate for and have been for a long time. Part of that is because of this huge concern that we are seeing in terms of access because of economic anxiety that our community is facing and then on page 11, our page 11 when I am thinking about what would you need to be able to secure housing, rental assistance, money to make critical repairs is consistently at the top too. So, it is money, it is cash. It is cash in people’s pockets that could make their lives so much more stable and to me this is to me the biggest takeaway and you know I had talked about at the Budget Retreat, I wasn’t even prepared to have this sort of aha moment but at the Budget Retreat I did speak about institutionalizing the family prosperity

program because we had a pilot project that was tremendously successful with a couple of non-profit organizations and I just think it is incumbent on us to think about institutionalizing it and making it permanent and I know what folks will say or folks who don’t believe in such a program will say but the numbers are right in front of us like this is what people are struggling with the most in order to have more secure and stable housing and us as municipal government should absolutely take that as a challenge and a responsibility to try to address. I just wanted to name that. Natalie, I have a couple of questions for you probably, actually as I see the numbers for our aging population, we also know that, I don’t know if this has changed, I think that as of last year that our unhoused population is also more and more seniors experiencing homelessness. To me this is very concerning, right like again, lack of access to just actual access to housing with an ageing population and I think we are making huge strides at that, but I am curious if you can speak to that concern a little bit?

Natalie Green said we do anticipate that that senior homelessness population will continue to rise and the plan does have a specific section if I am correct on housing needs assessment for people experiencing homelessness. I do just want to give next steps too. So after we present this plan and have our 30 day comment period we will adopt the consolidated plan and our 26 action plan we will be submitting that to HUD for review and their correction if there is any and then we will shift focus to the affordable housing plan which will have targeted objectives for each housing type and each housing population. As staff we will use that to inform our affordable housing programming moving forward. So, when developers come to us rather than them telling us what they are building we are going to tell them you need to build X,Y,Z or we are supporting projects that prioritize X, Y, Z. So we will work on finalizing that plan with Heidi and Avilia, we will work on adopting that and submitting that to

Housing New Mexico and then on top of that our plan is to bring back all the feedback within both plans and then work on some ordinance and policy changes both programing wise and then whatever we need to do interms of the affordable housing general oversight ordinance and then we will work on some project implementation to address the strategic plans within both planning documents so we are very much about implementation so we don’t let our plans sit on the shelf. We would like to implement our plans and so you will see that work moving forward. But we are concerned about seniors. We saw it with Pedrena. We were 90% leased up day one.

We are seeing it a little bit with Peachtree. So, we had 142 applications for 144 units.

In the lease data or the application data, Phase I has less three bedrooms, there is more three bedrooms than Phase II. We have 42 applications for 18 three-bedroom units and then for the public who may watch this later we still have availability in the one bedroom, so we are looking to fill those but certainly the need is telling in those pre-leasing numbers for all of the housing developments.

Councilor Bencomo said that is very telling. When can we expect to see the affordable housing plan?

Heidi Aggeler said we have draft sections which will go to review of Natalie and her team so I would say a month to a month and a half before we get to the review process and then the recommendations.

Councilor Bencomo asked I assume we will have a Work Session?

Natalie Green said yes.

Councilor Bencomo said this is really great data and I know that we have another very localized survey happening. I am wondering if the Public Health Coordinator can speak to how that group plans to coordinate with this? They aren’t here, it seems like.

I think this is an important conversation for the Public Health Coordinator to be at in the future, especially as we have the Mayor’s project on the survey here locally. I want to make sure that these aren’t siloed and that we are moving in conjunction together. I think to me that feels particularly important.

Mayor Pro Tem Munoz asked on page 9, I grew up in the 1900’s, 1990s, the common thought then was that you are going to get a job and you will get a home and so it pains me to hear my son who just graduated from college and his contemporaries saying I will never afford a home and I don’t know if I will get into a house. So obviously we have some work to do together to look at this solution holistically. So, I wanted to talk about the pressure that you see under tenure where it says precariously housed. The population distribution is 18%, 65 +, 75+, we will continue to grow in addition to 65+. I know that as Councilor Harris mentioned or alluded to, I think it is important for landlords in who have to be aware the climate of the environment. Seems like we went from winter to summer all of a sudden and they want happy tenants and tenants who are comfortable and so I think that is important as we look at cooling initiatives throughout the city. I sit on a board. We raise money and we contribute money to help out seniors in our city who need things like grab bars and air conditioning and ramps. It is so hard to get around. I have been fortunate and not as handy, so I am really helping move around tools and materials and things like that. I have had the opportunity to visit some sites and it is difficult to see our seniors that have been there and raised us and have been there for us are struggling to get around and you go into their homes and it is just sweltering hot and they request things like air conditioning, ramps and grab bars and so, we are able to fund that as a non-profit but we can’t be reaching a big portion of what is happening in Las Cruces.

So, I just wanted to hear from you what pressure do you see under tenure of precariously housed homes? What pressure do you see on the market?

Heidi Aggeler said in terms of the seniors’ needs definitely the grab bars, the cooling systems, those overlap a lot with disability and so the incidents of disability once a senior turns 75 goes up dramatically. I do think that there is a bit of a myth that we want to move seniors out of their homes and then they will become available like people like your son to become homeowners. Most surveys show that seniors do want to stay in place and in fact your survey I didn’t present this data but showed that the majority of folks do want to stay in their homes as long as they can because they are very happy with where they are living so that does give you even more of an impetus to continue the rehabilitation work that you are doing and address the cooling and the grab bar, the accessibility needs.

Natalie Green said I think we are in our second, going into our third year of the

Emergency Handyman Program. So, we specifically launched that program using

general funds to be able to do emergency repairs for seniors so that they can stay in place. So that handles heating and cooling during the changeovers. We also used some for accessibility and some other things that we determined to be life and safety hazards. It is currently slated to be funded in this year’s budget through our general fund and then real quickly because I didn’t get a chance I just wanted my entire team is here and I was hoping they will stand and just wave because they are the team that does the work day in and day out so they are managing the home rehab program, the emergency repair program, our home TBRA program, really all of the programs. They do all the work, and I stand up here and talk to all of you guys. So, we do have a program specifically to address that outside of federal funds because we know federal funds can be incredibly challenging to deploy. So, we do have some flexible funding that will let us address those and if there is opportunities to partner with other non- profits, we are always happy to incorporate into our programing.

Councilor Bencomo asked as we are talking about this and there is a lot of survey information in here as well and I was wondering how you are thinking, I know you are spearheading that project and so I am just curious how you are approaching that and then making sure that you know we are working together with this plan and the plan that is upcoming?

Anthony Turner, Public Health Coordinator said the survey that you are mentioning is actually being developed right now in partnership with NMSU. We are waiting on their proposal and then we will move forward with that but at the moment while it is in the development phases there is not too much to that.

Councilor Bencomo asked just to be clear that will be specifically for unhoused folks or are you thinking of expanding that to all folks who are, for example living on couch surfing or living in their car?

Anthony Turner said it will be for all four categories of HUD homelessness. Also, with substance abuse and mental health. So, it covers a wide range. So, there is going to be quite a bit of data in that that we have to cover.

Councilor Bencomo asked do you know if we will have access to the survey before it goes out? Like will we be able to provide feedback?

Anthony Turner said yes, we will be able to provide feedback but right now I believe that Dr. Banner is going to be the principal investigator helping to develop it.

Councilor Harris said just another follow up on surveys and this is for anybody who conducts surveys, maybe everybody. So, there were 742 respondents to this. There is

110/120,000 people who live in the city. How do we go about doing our surveys, thoughts on how we might improve numbers?

Heidi Aggeler said in this kind of a survey what we are looking for, we call this sort of snowball survey, so we get the word out about the survey. People hopefully tell each other, and it picks up like some energy like a snowball rolling down a hill. I don’t know if that is the right physics but that is what we say and then that survey kind of the word

of the survey broadens and people get excited to take it. This is the appropriate type of survey to do for housing needs assessment of this size and magnitude because what we are trying to get is we are capturing and we see you capture those precariously housed and the very low-income people very well and we want their voices captured in the survey. In some cases, and we are doing this right now for a community outside Washington DC. We will do a statistical survey, a significant survey so we use a more precise sample to be able to invite people to take the survey. That type of survey on its own is quite expensive to conduct just the sampling in particular. So, what we hope to do with this survey which we achieved is use the snowball type of approach and just sort of an informal promotion with the city as a partner and non-profits as a partner to get enough of a representation of the people who have housing needs which we did. It is not a matter of the numbers as of the representation of that demographic sample with the statistically significant survey like the magic number for those just to give you some context is about 400 responses and for this one, we got 742. So, we feel really good about the numbers but also the demographic representation.

Natalie Green said for this particular survey staff does make a concerted effort to outreach those least likely to participate so we mailed about 10,000 postcards to low to moderate income census tracks in addition to that we partnered with Casa de

Peregrinos who put survey flyers in all of the food pantry boxes so that was about

6,000 households and then we partnered with the County on ads so for those who see the Bulletin weekly we advertised and they advertised and then it was also on both Facebook post and then I actually did a news TV segment with our

Communications team that was advertised on the news so we do try and go above and beyond the standard outreach process.

Councilor Harris said I appreciate the focus on the people who need the housing because that is what we actually care about, like randomly sampling 20,000 people in the city is probably all not that helpful if you get mostly people who own their homes and have no needs. 1.2 ECONOMIC OUTLOOK Monica Torres, Economist gave the overhead presentation.

Councilor Harris asked on slide 8, so we just talked about housing and building more units, so we need more units, but it looks like our residential construction permits are going down? Is that like an absolute number in terms of units or? In the jest of my question does an apartment complex count as just one permit for the purposes of this?

Chris Faivre, Community Development Director said multi-family is considered commercial so this would be.

Councilor Harris said overall the feeling is that units are still getting more units or units have kind of leveled off?

Chris Faivre said so given some of the changes in the land development code we are

seeing an uptick in multi-family duplexes, triplexes, quadplexes. So, we are seeing more of that so I would expect to see some of that reflected in the numbers as

January 1st of this year was when we went exclusively to the new code so I think overthe next couple of years we will definitely see those units increase.

Councilor Harris asked on the new business registrations, is there a breakdown in kind of category?

Chris Faivre said our software doesn’t really allow us to get that granular but what I will say is some of that isn’t just new registrations versus there has been more of an aggressive effort on the part of staff to go out and make sure that those that have expired are now getting their registrations. We can work to try to break down those numbers a little bit more as we kind of figure out industry versus renewal versus new so we can try and get that information to you.

Councilor Harris said that is something that I am interested in, like what kinds of businesses are coming in. The breakdown of renew versus new because 649 feels like a lot of businesses to have opened for not a lot of public facing. It would be interesting to see maybe next quarter like the churn if we could get an idea of if because it is common to see like restaurants open in a place and then run for a year and then close and then another one open so it would I think just be an interesting data point to see that churn.

Chris Faivre said yes, we can certainly look at that. A lot of these are home based businesses so when you think businesses and that was always kind of my first thought too that we are seeing a lot of those too but a lot of it is home based and a lot of it is maybe there has been a lapse so when they come in and renew and so it is not necessarily a new it is a new registration.

Councilor Corran said I really have more of a comment and appreciation of you, and you Dr. Torres. What time to be alive and understand micro-economics. I just appreciate you breaking it down as much as you can for us and I know that economics is a science and that you know I but also thanks for the crystal ball insight that you are trying to throw here. I appreciate you very much for giving us this context and to help us understand this volatile wild place.

Mayor Pro Tem Munoz said looking at the contract forecast here, again your crystal ball. Where do you think we are headed? Increase/decrease? Same thing for interest rates, where do you think those are going to go?

Monica Torres said that is a very difficult question to ask right now, especially with the things happening like right now we have geopolical conflict, we have a major trading route that just closed that led to a 39% increase in oil prices. This could have some inflationary effect depending on how long it takes. We are also seeing some softening in the labor markets and also indicators are not typically behaving like they did like they used to. DC, which is a preferred measure for inflation for the federal reserve, has been running about 2% target for five years now we are seeing PCI a little lower than PCE when it is typically the opposite case. I think most likely the interest rate is

going to be kept at the current level for the next meeting, maybe a cut by the end of the year but there is a lot of changes since the pandemic. It has been very difficult to forecast things. We have seen an unprecedented amount of stimulus. Now it is going away but now that we have other things changing and so I probably didn’t answer your question, it is just very complicated. If there is more weakening of the labor market probably there is additional cuts on the horizon, but I think they are going to stay for the next meeting.

Councilor Harris said that brought up another question that I had which also is probably a crystal ball question. How sticky do you think some of the inflation and price increases and housing price increases might be in the context of this as I just read to be fair the executive summary of a study that was done in Europe they had actually a situation where they had added a tax to a service and then a few years later removed the tax and so the study was actually looking at the price increases and how sticky they were after the tax was removed. Basically, prices went up immediately after you know the tax went into effect and in this case, it would be tariffs and other like housing pricing increases and then after it was taken out consumers did not see the full benefit of the reductions. So, prices went up by $4, I think it was for haircuts or something after the tax prices went down by $2. Just kind of curious your thoughts on that. I know that when I buy electronic components, I see a separate line item for the tariff on there that I have to pay and so that would be pretty hard for the vendor to paper over but if butter costs an extra dollar at Walmart, maybe it still costs an extra dollar next year.

Monica Torres asked can you repeat your question please?

Councilor Harris said with some of the changes that you were bringing up. We have seen some tariffs struck down which obviously impact us. We have seen a lot of housing prices rise for various reasons we are trying to increase supply and other policies. How sticky do you think these changes are? Do you think there is actually a chance in the short to median term of actually seeing price decreases due to these things?

Monica Torres said we see inflation trending down, but the level of prices still elevated. There might be some changes in regulation at the federal level that might help with home prices but still it is nothing like finalized. I don’t think I have the information to fully answer your question without making a number of assumptions and I would rather give you a more informed answer that works for you.
