That’s a wrap on the 2026 Livability Speaker Series. 🔑

Thank you to everyone who joined us at SITE SANTA FE for Room to Grow, Room to Stay with Ned Resnikoff and to every neighbor who showed up across all four conversations this year.

Ned reminded us that the pressures facing our cities didn’t happen by accident, which means they aren’t permanent either. The housing we build, the streets we design, the decisions we make locally — those are choices and choices can change.

The conversation doesn’t end here. Santa Fe is writing its own version of this story, and it takes all of us.

See you in 2027. 🧡

Congratulations to Leah and Tim, Homewise’s newest homeowners! 🏡🔑

Leah started working with us in October 2025. With help from her Homeownership Advisor, Maria, and her loan officer, Louisa, she worked steadily to strengthen her finances and pay down her student loans. When the time was right, Leah and Tim decided to apply together. Tim also joined our Credit Savings Building Program to help them reach their goal.

Leah and Tim were living out of town for the whole process, but they still traveled in during the week to look for the right home. That commitment paid off. Today they’re proud first-time homeowners!

Leah and Tim, we wish you many happy years in your forever home. 🧡

Straight from Ned himself. 🎥 Ned Resnikoff — author, advocate, and journalist — is coming to Santa Fe for the final Livability Speaker Series event of the year, and he's giving us a preview of what he'll cover.

Room to Grow, Room to Stay
📅 Thursday, October 8 | 6–8 PM
📍 SITE Santa Fe, 1606 Paseo de Peralta
🎟️ Free, ticketed event
👶 Childcare + interpretation provided
🍹 Drinks & snacks to follow
🌎 Spanish Interpretation Available

Rising costs. Neighbors priced out. A city getting harder to afford. None of it happened by accident and none of it is permanent. Ned will walk us through how we got here and what's already working in cities making room for everyone.

Free and ticketed, and we expect it to sell out. Childcare and interpretation provided. 🎟️

CLOSED GIVEAWAY: 🎈 Lifting New Mexico, one family at a time.

Monday, Oct 5 is New Mexico Free Day at Balloon Fiesta — free general admission for New Mexicans with a NM photo ID or a utility bill. The only thing standing between you and a dawn patrol morning is parking.

So we partnered with the Anderson Abruzzo Albuquerque International Balloon Museum to add even more to your experience. Discover the history, science and wonder behind ballooning at the Museum. For a full list of events, visit CABQ.gov/Balloon/Events to see what is happening! Two experiences, one unforgettable day. Five New Mexico families will each win:

🎟️ A family pass to the Balloon Museum — entry for 4, good any date
🚗 A parking pass for Monday, Oct 5

TO ENTER:
1️⃣ Follow Homewise and The Balloon Museum
2️⃣ Like this post
3️⃣ Comment and tag the person you'd bring

Entries close Tuesday, Sept 29. Winners announced by DM.

Lifting families is sort of our whole thing. Usually that looks like a mortgage someone was told they'd never qualify for. This week it looks like five hundred balloons over a Monday morning. We're glad to help with both. 🧡

What a morning. 🔑

Last week we cut the ribbon on Sombra del Oeste — 72 all-electric townhomes in Albuquerque's South Valley, and our second Homewise Homes® community in the city. Thank you to everyone who showed up to celebrate what's possible when a community builds together.

Our deepest thanks to the voices who joined us:
💬 Johanna Gilligan, President of Homewise
💬 Sarita Nair, Cabinet Secretary, NM Department of Workforce Solutions
💬 Cindy Chavez, Bernalillo County Manager
💬 Robyn Powell, Director of Policy and Planning, Housing New Mexico
💬 Jordan Franco, Business Banking Relationship Manager, U.S. Bank
💬 Estella Gamboa, Homewise homeowner — whose story reminded us all exactly why this work matters

And a huge thank you to BIG 98.5 for broadcasting live with us, Gilbert Uribe Music for filling the morning with sound, and the Street Food Institute for the incredible cooking demos. You made it feel like a celebration.

Sombra del Oeste is more than 72 homes. It's 72 families putting down roots. 🏡

Every state in the Southwest has passed housing reform legislation in recent years, except New Mexico.

That's one finding from a new policy brief our team co-authored with the Mercatus Center, based on 20+ interviews with builders, planners, land use attorneys, and elected officials across the state. New Mexico is short at least 58,000 homes, and a lot of what's holding them back isn't land or money - it's process.

This week Homewise President Johanna Gilligan and Senior Director of Policy & Advocacy Veronica Toledo took those findings to KRQE News 13.
