Supreme Court Phasing in Prevention and Diversion Program
The New Mexico Supreme Court will phase in an Eviction Prevention and Diversion Program statewide starting in April and in stages lift a moratorium on evictions of people unable to pay their rent during the COVID-19 pandemic. The program helps tenants access money available through the state Department of Finance and Administration for unpaid rent and utilities, temporary housing at a motel or hotel and the initial costs of moving into new permanent housing. The court-based program also provides trained facilitators to assist landlords and tenants in negotiating a possible settlement of their rental disputes. Due to an order issued March 16 by the Court, here is the schedule for phasing in the Eviction Prevention and Diversion Program in judicial districts across the state and lifting a stay on evictions for non-payment of rent:
- Starting April 1 in the Second (Bernalillo County), Fifth (Chaves, Eddy and Lea counties), Tenth (DeBaca, Harding and Quay counties) and Twelfth (Lincoln and Otero counties) Judicial Districts.
- Effective May 1 in the Third (Doña Ana County), Sixth (Grant, Hidalgo and Luna counties) and Seventh (Catron, Sierra, Socorro and Torrance counties) Judicial Districts.
- Starting June 1 in the First (Los Alamos, Rio Arriba and Santa Fe counties), Fourth (Mora, Guadalupe and San Miguel counties) and Eighth (Colfax, Taos and Union counties) Judicial Districts.
- Effective July 1 in the Eleventh (McKinley and San Juan counties) and Thirteen (Cibola, Sandoval and Valencia counties) Judicial Districts.
