Thank you Albuquerque Health Care for the Homeless for sharing things to know if you are at risk of losing your housing because of failure to pay your rent due to the COVID-19 pandemic!
(Scroll down for English.)
¿En riesgo de desalojo? Qué necesitas saber o hacer?
Hay una moratoria para los inquilinos que no pueden pagar su renta. Hay una moratoria de NM y una moratoria federal de los CDC. Hasta que el Tribunal Supremo de NM dictamine lo contrario, las protecciones de la Moratoria de NM o de la Moratoria de los CDC
pueden servirle, dependiendo de sus circunstancias en particular, para protegerse de ser desalojado por falta de pago de la renta.
Con el fin de protegerse mejor:
• Si cumple con todos los requisitos de la moratoria de los CDC, complete la Declaración Bajo pena de perjurio y déselo a su arrendador. Guarde una copia. Cada adulto en el contrato de renta debe completar el formulario. Para obtener más información sobre cómo obtener el formulario de Declaración de los CDC, vea más abajo.
• Si su arrendador presenta una solicitud de desalojo ante el tribunal, debe ir a la audiencia del tribunal para explicar que actualmente no puede pagar la renta.
Aún así deberá la renta de todos los meses cuando la moratoria termine. Intente negociar un acuerdo por escrito con el arrendador para pagar el alquiler en un plazo determinado y así poder permanecer en su casa cuando la moratoria termine.
--
If you are at risk of losing your housing because of failure to pay your rent due to the COVID-19 pandemic, these are the things you need to know:
There are two moratoriums in place, one by the CDC and one by the New Mexico Supreme Court, that protect your housing status under specific circumstances, should you follow the necessary steps.
In order to best protect yourself:
• If you meet all the requirements of the CDC moratorium, complete the Declaration Under penalty of perjury and give it to your landlord. Keep a copy. Each adult on the lease must complete the form. See
below for more information on how to get the CDC Declaration form.
• If your landlord files in court for eviction, you must go to the court hearing to explain that you are currently unable to pay rent.
You will still owe the rent for all months when the moratorium ends. Try negotiating a written agreement with the landlord to repay the rent over time so you can stay in your home when the moratorium is over.

"As the country heads into winter and it becomes more difficult for people experiencing homelessness to safely remain outdoors, shelters face a major challenge preparing for the increased demand the drop in temperatures will bring while observing restrictions to prevent coronavirus outbreaks."
"Right now in the country, there's not one city that has enough shelter space for all the homeless people in their community," one advocate said.

The Begay family is an example of how providing housing for people translates to providing healthcare for people. Before they were connected with Heading Home, they lost their housing, employment, and support network. The family was living without electricity or running water. When their new baby was born with critical health challenges, their living conditions did not support the necessary medical equipment to keep him alive. Heading Home received a referral for the family just before Child Protective Services was going to take custody of their baby due to their lack of housing.
