New Hampshire Coalition to End Homelessness

October 10, 2019

NH Business Review Staff,

2020 Goals:

As an increasing number of families and individuals struggle with obtaining and sustaining stable housing in New Hampshire, the NH Coalition to End Homelessness (NHCEH) works with partners across the state to research and implement the most effective ways to prevent and end homelessness. We identify solutions, educate providers on best practices, and empower people, some of whom are currently homeless, to advocate on behalf of all those who experience homelessness in our state. In 2020, we aim to continue helping young people who have experienced homelessness access higher education through our Hope Starts Here Scholarship. Similarly, our Granite Leaders Program will raise the voices of those who have experienced homelessness by providing them with the skills they need to inform positive change in communities across New Hampshire. Also in 2020, the NHCEH will initiate the New Hampshire Homelessness Advocate Collaborative, a program designed to strengthen collaboration and innovation within homeless services, thereby enhancing our collective impact in ending homelessness across the state.

Mission Statement:
