Neighborhood Economic Development Window Grant

 The Neighborhood Economic Development Window Grant, funded by the Housing and Neighborhood Economic Development Fund (HNEDF), created in 1987 for the benefit of low- and moderate-income residents in Albuquerque’s designated Pockets of Poverty.

This grant provides up to 80% reimbursement (max $3,000) for repair or replacement of windows damaged by vandalism or crime, for eligible brick-and-mortar businesses, 501(c)(3)/501(c)(6) organizations, and educational institutions located only within the Pockets of Poverty—enhancing safety and storefront appearance. 

By targeting these neighborhoods, the grant advances HNEDF’s purpose of directing resources where improvements can be most impactful, including visible façade upgrades that improve neighborhood aesthetics and support revitalization.
