FIT VISTA NH Coalition to End Homelessness VISTA
 
 
 
The NH Coalition to End Homelessness was founded in 1990. As concern about the increasing numbers of individuals and families facing homelessness intensified it became clear that addressing the problem would require strong leadership. NHCEH was formed to provide this leadership and plays a key role in helping New Hampshire plan, develop and implement a collaborative solution to homelessness. We provides services to enhance the quality of homeless service programs; increase collaboration across the systems of care serving homeless individuals and families; and elevate awareness about the issue of homelessness. We accomplish this through high quality training and technical assistance. We are the source for professional development opportunities on homelessness in New Hampshire. Each year we provide numerous trainings on key areas of interest including trauma-informed services, evidence based case management, and culturally competent care. Understanding the causes and symptoms of homelessness in NH is essential to making effective public policy decisions and developing and enhancing services. Many organizations collect data on homelessness and disseminate this information in reports. In addition to making these reports on homelessness easily accessible, the NHCEH also produces an annual report on the state of homelessness in New Hampshire . We work to increase awareness and understanding through collaboration with local universities, as well as through the provision of an annual scholarship that highlights the needs of school aged youth. We empower homeless constituents and the public to advocate for homeless services by teaching people about best practice advocacy activities and by acting as an information and communication hub. The Coalition partners with Housing Action New Hampshire and other agencies to help concerned citizens and service providers understand how they can legally and effectively advocate for services for this population.
