The State of Homelessness in New Hampshire 2021 Annual Report is Now Available on Our Website!
Report Shows Stability on Overall State Homelessness and How COVID-19 Continues to Impact Unsheltered Homeless Numbers
This report provides an overview and understanding of the scope of homelessness statewide and in each of the three Housing and Urban Development (HUD) defined Continuum of Care regions of the state. Data indicates that unsheltered homeless more than doubled across the state, likely because of the pandemic’s impact over the two fiscal years. There were 4,682 total unduplicated individuals and people in families experiencing homelessness in the 2021 calendar year. The report identified continued adverse outcomes due to the pandemic and demonstrated some successes, including the reduction of family homelessness by 17%. This reduction in family homelessness was likely due to the comprehensive homeless prevention programs implemented utilizing the significant infusion of federal COVID-19 resources in NH. The 2021 NH Point-in-Time Count identified 1,491 people, including children, who were homeless during a 24-hour timeframe.
“It is important to understand the underlying impact that the pandemic has had on people experiencing homelessness in New Hampshire. This knowledge, along with this report’s clear picture of who the homeless population is in our state, lends itself to identifying where our energy should be placed -- what policy changes, funding investments, and program recommendations should be considered,” said Stephanie Savard, Director of the NHCEH. “We have learned that change can happen with an infusion of affordable housing, evidence-based practices, and a well-supported provider system to meet the unique needs of each population who experiences homelessness in New Hampshire.”
The 2021 State of Homelessness in New Hampshire report announced a current research study underway highlighting a partnership between NHCEH and the University of NH School of Social Work. The study is exploring the perceptions and experiences of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color who currently, or formerly, experienced homelessness in a predominately White rural state. Results are anticipated to be released in 2022. The annual report also provides insights and data on homeless subpopulations, successful interventions, ongoing challenges, and recommended calls to action.
