May 5, 2021
The site,
fairhousing-nh.org, provides information on housing protections and available resources. Combined with a social media campaign, the NHLA aims to raise awareness of fair housing challenges and help that is available to victims of housing discrimination.
The website features information about what qualifies as housing discrimination and examples of the more common forms of housing discrimination in New Hampshire. According to the Fair Housing Project, the most common housing discrimination complaints in the state are made by people with disabilities. Issues range from refusal to rent because of an assistance animal to refusing reasonable modifications that allow people to fully use and enjoy their home.

For the second straight year, the COVID-19 pandemic will keep area residents from gathering in public to mark the National Day of Prayer on Thursday.
That doesn’t mean local clergy won’t be leading an observance.
The Mount Airy Ministerial Association will be holding a National Day of Prayer service at 12:30 p.m., with the event carried live on WPAQ, at 740 AM and 106.7 FM on the radio dial.
“The theme this year will come from II Corinthians, chapter three, verse 17,” said DM Dalton, president of the ministerial association. That verse reads “Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.”
