Something missing or out of date?
This directory is maintained by Casa Q staff and updated quarterly. If a number doesn’t work, a program has closed, or you know an org that should be here, tell us.
We especially want to hear about orgs serving rural NM, Spanish-speaking community members, and Indigenous communities — those gaps are real.
Last verified
This list was last reviewed in Q2 2026 by Casa Q's case management team. Individual entries may be older — when in doubt, call the org directly to confirm hours and intake before you go.
Inclusion on this list isn't an endorsement of every program at every org. Some orgs serve LGBTQ+ youth well; others may not be fully affirming in every interaction. Trust your instincts and call Casa Q at (505) 872-2099 if a resource isn't a fit.
