An update is important. The organization has ceased to exist and has continued it's work under it's sister organization, Vecinos "Neighbors United. Vecinos "Neighbors United was created in 1989 while Vecinos United Community Development Corporatin was incorporated in july of 1994. it became impractical to have two organizations both capable of accomplishing the same goals, and due to lack of staff our filing lapsed for our Community development Corporation.
The Organization's work continues. It's Central theme is VECINOS UNITED "THE HUB FOR SOCIAL CHANGE". Allthough it'swebsite is underconstruction, you can Visit it at: vecinosunited.org
The negative review above was only an angry person who had a desk donated to the organization. After years said it was his and it was a loan. He threatened to destroy the organization and apparently that review was his effort.

The Organization is one of the few that has fought hard for issues others are afraid to touch, such as police brutality. It is one of the few that truly represents the interests of the underpriviliged. It has excellent recognition by people. It got rid of three corrupt Police Chiefs, Joseph Polisar (Albuquerque), Gilbert Gallegos (Albuquerque), Robert Lucero (Santa Fe). Vecinos United fought hard to get Civilian Oversight of Police. Due to the level of corruption in Albuqueruqe city Government, City Councils and Mayors continue to support Human & Civil rights violations by APD.
Vecinos United single handed created the Public Regulation Commission. These are just a couple of many
successes accomplished. The bad report given was by an opertunist who sought to use the organization for his own benefit and was not allowed.
