GOFERR has a variety of assistance programs. The latest is a housing assistance program. The goal is to keep people from being displaced due to the economic circumstances we are in. As the Legislature’s Representative to the Interagency Council on Homelessness, I have heard so many stories where people are on a razor thin margin of housing security. Once that passes, it is a long struggle to regain it. Apply for everything you think you may be eligible for. Apply at https://www.goferr.nh.gov/apply ~ Steve
