The Doña Ana County Board of County Commissioners approved a budget revision and resolution on Tuesday to allocate $1,028,000 from county reserves to complete phase 1 of a transitional supportive housing facility.
The resolution (No. 2025-47) passed 4-1, with Vice Chair Chaparro voting no. Commissioners voting yes were Commissioner Ramirez, Commissioner Reynolds, Commissioner Sanchez and Chair Sheldon.
Jamie Michael, Doña Ana County’s director of health and human services, told commissioners the county must provide the local match before it can accept a separate award from the state. "The award that was made from the state for the $715,000...is contingent on you all approving this budget request today," Michael said.
The funding approved Tuesday is intended to finish site construction and landscaping for phase 1 of a modular transitional supportive housing project on land the county previously acquired. Justin Weaver of the county facilities office summarized earlier work on the site, including a constructed rock wall and initial design.
