ABC New Mexico’s Post

Exciting Groundbreaking at the Farolito Senior Community We were honored to attend the groundbreaking ceremony yesterday at the Farolito Senior Community. This event marks the beginning of an exciting collaboration between ABC New Mexico, Sol Housing, YDI, and Jaynes Corporation as we join forces on a transformative Youth Build project over the next two years. The Farolito Senior Community will serve as the construction site for this impactful program, designed to provide local youth with valuable skills in construction, teamwork, and leadership. Through this partnership, young individuals will gain hands-on experience while contributing to the development of much-needed housing for seniors in our community. Stay tuned for updates as we work together to build a brighter future!
