Because Home is A Great Place to Start
AHA offers assistance to low income residents in the City of Albuquerque. AHA receives federal funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to provide these services.
In this capacity, AHA is the owner and manager of approximately 950 housing units scattered throughout Albuquerque. These units provide decent housing for low income families, the elderly and disabled individuals at rents they can afford.
Tenants of public housing units pay 30% of their income toward their rent, then any additional costs are subsidized with federal funding.
Through this program AHA is currently assisting more than 900 households who have an average monthly rent of $152. The average length of stay in the program is 3.6 years.
Attention AHA Tenants: Important Information Regarding EBILL & Auto-Withdrawals
As part of our ongoing software conversion, please note the following important updates.
EBILL (Online Payments): EBILL will no longer be available for rent payments after August 31, 2025. You will receive further instructions about the new payment system shortly.
What is EBILL? This refers to an electronic bill or payment made online through your website, abqha.org. It’s a system where tenants can pay their bills directly through a secure online platform.
Auto-Withdrawals: Last month was the final month for Auto-Withdrawals under our old system. Moving forward, you will need to set up Auto-Withdrawal in the new system. Additional information will be provided soon.
What is Auto-Withdrawal? This is a payment system where tenants authorize automatic payments to be withdrawn from their bank account or card on a recurring basis. The tenant initiates this by filling out a form and returning it to your organization, AHA. If you have previously set up Auto-Withdrawal through EBILL, you will need to sign up again in the new software to continue using this service.
Alternative Payment Methods: In the meantime, you can still pay rent or any outstanding balances via check or money order.
For any questions or assistance, please contact your property manager.
Thank you for your understanding.

Valuable Source of Affordable Housing
The Public Housing program is a valuable source of affordable housing, especially for Albuquerque’s elderly and disabled population.
Thirty percent of AHA’s Public Housing participants are elderly or disabled. These families, on average, have annual incomes of less than $8,000 a year, and often have no other source for housing.
AHA’s Public Housing communities include 373 units designated specifically for elderly and disabled citizens.
