The new logo should help New Mexicans understand our role in their community better, and we look forward to continued outreach and education about Housing New Mexico for years to come.” Officials also hope the rebrand will help prevent mistaking the New Mexico Mortgage Finance Authority with the New Mexico Finance Authority and vice-versa, which is often the case. Hernandez explained the entity is not officially or legally changing its name, but the idea is for it to be recognized as Housing New Mexico. “We are still New Mexico Mortgage Finance Authority,” he said. “As the state’s housing authority, our vision is that all New Mexicans will have quality, affordable housing opportunities, and ‘Housing New Mexico’ truly encompasses what we work toward every day.” 19
