LAS CRUCES 鈥� The city council unanimously approved a new five-year lease Monday with the Mesilla Valley Community of Hope, a nonprofit tasked with providing services to residents at risk of losing their housing or are homeless. 

Under its agreement with the city, the agency subleases space on a 17-acre campus owned by the city to partner with non-governmental organizations that provide health care, early childhood services and food assistance. 

The agreement renews a key private-public partnership serving low-income residents and some of the most vulnerable members of the community. The Mesilla Valley Community of Hope has leased the facilities located off of West Amador Avenue since 1994. It subleases space to nonprofits Amador Health Center, food pantry Casa de Peregrinos, El Caldito Soup Kitchen and Jard铆n de los Ni帽os. 

The new lease clarifies security protocols, reporting requirements and the respective maintenance responsibilities of the city and Mesilla Valley Community of Hope, with the city committing to dedicating a full-time employee overseeing campus facilities. 

Rent on the 12.35 acres covered by the lease is valued at $690,000 annually, or $3.45 million over five years, but the lease stipulates that the rent is payable through the agencies鈥� services to the city in lieu of cash. The agreement may be renewed four times for five years apiece. 

Since the end of the COVID-19 pandemic, law enforcement, New Mexico bail reform and public safety have been the focus of a contentious debate where some community members have linked the city鈥檚 unhoused residents and individuals suffering from substance abuse or other behavioral health crises to crime and blight. 

On Monday, however, no community members spoke in opposition to extending the city鈥檚 relationship with Mesilla Valley Community of Hope or any of its partners. Councilors thanked the agencies for their work, which Councilor Yvonne Flores said included 鈥渄estigmatizing people without housing.鈥� 

Councilor Johana Bencomo expressed satisfaction that would help the city 鈥渂e a good landlord,鈥� and added that with federal changes in housing policy and cuts to funding for safety net programs, 鈥渓ocal government needs to step up and support, where it鈥檚 going to get more difficult.鈥� 

The council approved the lease on a 6-0 vote, with Councilor Bill Mattiace absent for the vote, having abstained from the discussion because a family member works at the Amador Health Center. 

Mesilla Valley Community of Hope Executive Director Nicole Martinez said the agreement 鈥渟olidifies the city鈥檚 support in understanding the seriousness of the services we provide and the need in our community.鈥� 

Speaking with the Journal after the meeting, Martinez said, 鈥淭oday felt good. We felt supported. Even though there鈥檚 a dollar figure of how much the lease agreement is for, each of our agencies brings in a lot of money to this campus for the people that we serve. I think we鈥檙e a real asset to the community, and we鈥檙e just grateful that the city recognizes that.鈥�
