Housing Doesn’t Happen by Accident. It Happens Because Communities Build the Capacity to Make it Happen
Building more housing takes more than funding. It takes people with the expertise and capacity to turn ideas into real projects. This Housing Matters column looks at why investing in the people and organizations doing the work is essential to creating lasting housing solutions in Taos County.

Taos County Housing Market & Needs Analysis
Taos County's housing crisis is no longer just a feeling. Now we have the data. Taos Housing Partnership and Taos County commissioned a full Housing Market and Needs Analysis, and the numbers confirm what residents already know: the gap between what homes cost and what local families can afford has never been wider. Download the full report below to see what the data shows and what it means for our community.
Looking Beyond the Numbers: What Taos' Housing Market Is Telling Us
Taos has a housing problem, but it's more specific than most people realize. A new Housing Market and Needs Analysis commissioned by Taos Housing Partnership pulls back the curtain on what's actually happening, and some of the findings might surprise you. Here's what you need to know.
Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU)Feasibility in Taos County
Casitas and backyard apartments have been part of our building traditions for generations, and they could be a real part of the solution to our housing crunch. But making them financially viable takes more than just changing a zoning rule. Taos Housing Partnership's new ADU feasibility report breaks it all down. Here's what you need to know.
Short Term Rentals - One Part of the Housing Conversation
Taos’ housing challenges are bigger than any one issue. In this Housing Matters column, Taos Housing Partnership looks at how short-term rentals fit into the broader housing picture, and how Taos County’s new STR Ordinance aims to support both tourism and long-term housing opportunities for local residents.
Questa Affordable Housing Development 101
This Affordable Housing Development 101 session covers the basics of affordable housing, the role of local government, and recent work in Questa.
How to Make Housing Affordable
Affordable housing in Taos isn’t blocked by a single issue. It’s a combination of land costs, financing challenges, construction expenses, and policy constraints. Read more as we outline the practical pathways, from partnerships to policy changes, that can help move housing forward.
Taos County Workforce Report
A new workforce housing survey highlights how housing pressures are affecting County employees in Taos. The results point to a stable, long-term workforce facing real constraints, offering important insight for future housing solutions.
Why is it so Hard to Build Affordable Housing?
Building affordable housing in Taos is harder than it should be — and the numbers prove it. Land, construction costs, zoning restrictions: Taos Housing Partnership ran the math on what it actually takes to build homes working families can afford. Here's what they found.
Housing Matters at the State Capitol
The 2026 Legislative Session includes several housing bills that could directly impact Taos. From tax reform to down payment assistance and Habitat’s Chamisa Verde expansion, this column breaks down the proposals worth watching and why they matter locally.
What’s Happening in Housing Legislative
Check on this great conversation between Daniel Werwath, Johanna Gilligan (Homewise President) and and Stephanie Nakhleh on what’s been happening with housing in the 2026 Legislative Session so far.
Bills We’re Watching: HB 200
This session, THP is tracking HB 200, a bill that could expand access to below-market homes statewide. In Taos, eligible buyers could receive up to $75,000 in down payment assistance.
Homelessness in Taos is a Housing Problem
Homelessness in Taos isn't imported, and it isn't a moral failing. Research is clear that where housing is expensive and scarce, homelessness rises — and Taos is no exception. Here's what the data actually shows, and why building more housing is the most compassionate thing we can do.
2026 Legislative Session
New Mexico's 2026 Legislative Session is only 30 days long, but it's packed with housing bills that could make a real difference for Taos. From tax reform to first-time homebuyer subsidies to 10 new Habitat homes right here in town, here's what's on the table.
How Local Government Can Advance Housing Affordability
Taos has a new mayor and two new council members, and there's real reason to be optimistic. Local government has more tools than most people realize — public land, state funding, land use reform, a housing trust fund that's already up and running. We're glad they're at the table, and we're ready to get to work.
How Market-rate Housing Can Increase Affordability
Taos needs more housing at every level — including higher-end. It sounds counterintuitive, but when wealthy buyers have options, they stop competing for the homes that working families need. Here's the economics behind why it matters.
Say ‘Yes’ to Housing
At public hearings, anti-housing voices often dominate the conversation. In this column, Alexandra Goldman argues that if Taos wants attainable housing, more community members must show up and say “Yes” to housing for teachers, families, and future generations.
