Residents seeking housing-recovery assistance can get application help at the Ruidoso Public Library on November 10 and 12, according to the Village of Ruidoso’s published schedule. Sessions are listed for 9 a.m.–4:30 p.m. at 107 Kansas City Road.
The notice describes help completing applications, submitting documents and understanding the Home Recovery Program. It also lists a November 17 town hall from 5:30–7 p.m. in Room 106 at ENMU-Ruidoso, 709 Mechem Drive.
The program serves qualifying disaster-impacted households in Lincoln and Chaves counties. Attendance does not establish eligibility or guarantee an award. Our practical suggestion: prepare a list of missing application items and ask staff which documents are needed for your particular case.
This is a November service reminder based on the village’s August 21, 2026 notice, checked November 7. The state program page also confirms the November 17 town hall: https://www.dhsem.nm.gov/cdbg-dr2025/homerecovery/ Confirm arrangements with program staff before traveling.
