Hello!

This screening tool is designed to give Albuquerque residents 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.

Acknowledgement and Disclaimers

The Catholic Charities Housing Stability Program provides one-time payment assistance towards rental assistance, utility assistance, and, in some cases, other costs as reviewed and approved on a case by case basis. Funds dispensed by the Program are paid directly to the apartment leasing office or utility company. There may be additional follow-up services, financial or case management, available through the program. From time to time, Catholic Charities will follow up with participants. Assistance is limited and will be provided based on the completeness and accuracy of the application, including submission for all required documentation. Assistance is not guaranteed and will be awarded to those who meet eligibility requirements upon full application review contingent on available funds. By submitting this request, you are confirming all information provided is true to the best of your knowledge. By submitting this request, you are confirming that you will be able to sustain housing independently and that you understand that documentation of this assistance will be added into Catholic Charities' internal system.
If you receive assistance out of this program, I consent to having payments be made on my behalf and verify information with landlords and other entities. This includes contacting the landlord to verify amounts owed and residency.
