The Orpheum serves as our new Albuquerque Homeownership Center and Community Hub.

Why we chose the Orpheum<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

In 2012, Homewise expanded to Albuquerque (prior to that, we only had an office in Santa Fe). When we were deciding where to establish our Albuquerque Homeownership Center, we knew that we wanted to be located in a neighborhood where we could put down roots and build strong community ties. Around this time the Orpheum Theater came up for sale and we decided that rehabilitating this one-time landmark would allow us to restore its former vibrancy as a cultural and economic hub of the area. By making both a physical and financial commitment to Barelas and the greater downtown, we are able to model the kind of ownership and financial stability that we help our clients achieve.<\/p>

The Albuquerque Homeownership Center and Community Hub features a large classroom equipped to hold our\u00a0Financial Fitness for Life<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Homebuyer Education<\/em>\u00a0Workshops. This space is open to the community for gallery shows, performances, workshops, and other community events. It will also include Homewise offices to enable us to support our mission of creating successful homeowners.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

History<\/h5>

The Orpheum was built in 1898 and has served as one of New Mexico\u2019s first movie theaters, the Denver Hotel, the Viaduct Garage (an auto repair shop), and more recently, as a performance and studio space with affordable housing catering to the area\u2019s thriving arts community.<\/p>

The building\u2019s namesake, Orpheus, was a legendary musician, poet, and prophet in ancient Greek religion and myth. It is said that his talent was so transformative that his \u201cmusic and singing could charm the birds, fish and wild beasts, and even coax the trees and rocks into dance.\u201d We see the potential of the Orpheum Community Hub to embody that same kind of transformative power to create new economic opportunity in the heart of Albuquerque.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
