One of the three pillars of NHCEH’s work in finding lasting solutions to end homelessness is that of advocacy. If we are to truly make a difference and change the harsh reality of homelessness so many Granite Staters are facing, we need to be at the table where the decisions are made.
NHCEH works hard to stay informed and educated on the many different systemic challenges that have left NH with the highest percentage increase in homelessness in the entire nation (from 2022-2023). This issue is complex. It is layered. And it needs and deserves attention at every level, from all angles, with hearts that are unencumbered by judgement and open to learning and addressing the needs of our neighbors.
There is much you can learn about the intricacies of legislation impacting the issue of homelessness by staying up to date on various bills related to this issue. Within the past few weeks, NHCEH has taken a seat at the table to share critical and impactful data with NH legislators and offer clear and respectful guidance on how their vote could either positively impact our efforts or further compound the problem.
