The old Cariños de Los Niños Charter School campus is now the site of the Cariños Community Hub. The building was purchased in June by Rio Arriba County and it has been unclear what services and organizations would use the space. A newly-created community task force of representatives from the County, Española School District, city of Española, New Mexico, United Way of Northern New Mexico and Northern Community College will identify the best uses of the property.
