A State of Mind: New Mexico Investing in Housing

It's time for a shift in New Mexico's state of mind! We will be bringing together community housing experts to discuss how their organizations are tapping into one of NM's under-utilized resources to invest in solutions for the state's housing crisis. We are excited to shift our focus from where New Mexico falls to the bottom of the list, to what we do well. Join us for a bite and a drink to build new connections and partnerships in a positive state of mind toward the housing solution.

October 1, 2026 | 4:30 - 6:00 p.m.

Location: Ex Novo Brewing Company | 701 Central Ave NW, Albuquerque, NM 87102
