Every year, the New Mexico Heritage Preservation Alliance announces its Most Endangered List based on nominations from around the state. A statewide committee reviews the nominations and those recources facing the most peril are placed on the list. The attention focused on the resource often results in increased efforts to save it.

Often, the Historic Preservation Division has worked to list Endangered resources on the State and National Registers and others have gone on to become Tax Credit projects or the recipient of HPD grants and loans. The Mesquite Historic District in Las Cruces, San Esteban del Ray, Fort Stanton and the Carrizozo Women's Club all are such examples.
