New Mexico Asian Family Center

The New Mexico Asian Family Center (NMAFC) is a minority-owned, non-profit organization located in Albuquerque, New Mexico, registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) since 2009. As a tax-exempt corporate entity with a specific focus on Asian, Pacific Islander, and Native Hawaiian communities, the organization specializes in providing culturally and linguistically specific support services to survivors of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking. The center is dedicated to addressing the unique needs of these communities by offering comprehensive, culturally sensitive support that recognizes the complex intersectional experiences of victims.

Through federal grant awards primarily from the U.S. Department of Justice's Office on Violence Against Women, NMAFC has consistently received funding for specialized programs such as the Culturally and Linguistically Specific Services Program and the Legal Assistance for Victims Grant Program. The organization's grant-funded services include case management, counseling, legal assistance, and advocacy for Asian, Pacific Islander, and Native Hawaiian survivors across New Mexico, particularly in Bernalillo County. Recent federal grants totaling approximately $1.36 million have supported the development of targeted programs like Support for Asian Victims (SAV) and Specialized Services for APINH Survivors (SSAS), which provide comprehensive case management, counseling, and legal services. The center collaborates closely with the Crime Victims Reparation Commission of New Mexico as a sub-grant recipient, ensuring that 100% of their staff are directly connected to the communities they serve, thereby maintaining culturally authentic and responsive support mechanisms.
