Financing New Mexico’s
Affordable Housing

Ventana Fund is a non-profit CDFI headquartered in New Mexico. We are dedicated to financing the creation and preservation of affordable multi-family housing by providing low-interest loans for developers who serve New Mexico’s low-income residents and high need communities.

Our Projects

Ventana Fund has deep roots—and a deep love—for New Mexico. As our state faces the challenges of a growing housing crisis, we have drawn on our considerable connections and expertise to rise to its defense. We step in where national commercial lenders fear to tread: with loans for small scale affordable housing projects. Ventana Fund believes that our funding should be guided not just by risk, but by respect. In the process, we help nurture a new generation of investors, improve affordable housing and strengthen communities across New Mexico. It is a win-win investment for everyone. One made with heart, yielding hope.

Ventana Fund is committed to financing affordable housing in low-income communities, underserved by traditional financial institutions.

Our target markets in New Mexico include low-income populations earning less than 80 percent area median income. Ventana Fund also focuses on hard-to-finance projects, such as older rental projects needing rehabilitation.
