subsidized senior living in ABQ. I did a quick Google, and got several hits. Possibly the most useful would be the Albuquerque Housing Authority: http://www.cabq.gov/albuquerque-housing-authority/eligibility-for-programs
I do know that actual eligibility for the programs are connected to your income, and if you have more than their max, you may not be eligible. But contact them because for all I know there are lots of exceptions.
In general, ABQ is a relatively low cost of housing city. Even Santa Fe is nowhere near as expensive as people assume. They just think it is because we have all the movie stars and other rich people who live here.
I have no idea if the suicides I refer to reflect a higher than normal rate or not. I'm only reporting what a particular friend who lived in a specific complex reported. Another friend now lives in that same place (first friend moved to another state to be nearer family) and has never said anything about such things.
What we do have here in New Mexico is quite a bit of income restricted housing. All new developments -- and this has been true for sometime before I moved here in 2008 -- are required to have some percentage of affordable housing incorporated. This includes both rentals and for sale units. In fact, my little townhouse that I bought in 2009, that's part of a 35 or so unit development, was originally an affordable housing unit. Once they are first sold that way, in any subsequent sales they simply become part of the regular resale market. One way to tell the affordable units in a development is that they will be the ones with a one-car garage or perhaps no garage at all, and are the smallest units. In my little development all the garages are one-car, and one of these days I'll have to walk through and see just how many are identical to mine.
