Where they stand

Housing authority: Wakely supports establishing a Luna County Housing Authority focused on housing needs in Deming, Columbus, and rural Luna County.

Housing transition: Before transferring responsibilities to a local housing authority, Wakely would require a public feasibility study and would protect existing tenants and voucher holders from losing assistance or experiencing service interruptions.

Housing accountability: Wakely says the housing authority would provide local accountability and the capacity to develop housing, pursue funding, manage construction, and respond to residents’ needs.
