New Hampshire Coalition to End Homelessness

January 7, 2021

NH Business Review Staff,

2021 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 understand 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. In 2021, the NHCEH will continue to research and broaden our understanding of homelessness in the state, including the development and dissemination of the Annual State of Homelessness in New Hampshire Report. The Coalition will continue to expand collaborative relationships for the purpose of a collective impact for change.
