New Hampshire Coalition to End Homelessness
2019 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 alongside community 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. Among many other exciting initiatives, in 2018, a new group of trained advocates graduated from our one-of-a-kind Granite Leaders program, armed with the skills and confidence they need to share their experience of homelessness and help inform positive change in New Hampshire.
Mission Statement:
The mission of the NH Coalition to End Homelessness is to eliminate the causes of homelessness through research, education and advocacy. Our belief is that having a home is a basic human right and is fundamental to becoming an engaged and contributing member of our community.
