The New Hampshire Emergency Rental Assistance Program (NHERAP) will be administered by New Hampshire Housing Finance Authority (NHHFA), in collaboration with GOFERR. NHHFA will work with the five regional Community Action Partnerships (CAPs) that will accept and process applications and payments for the program.
“This program will open up doors of opportunity and help New Hampshire families who have struggled through this pandemic,” Sununu said in a prepared statement. “We worked hard to open up as many channels of eligibility as possible so that no one struggling has to worry about making rent or keeping their lights or heat on.” (The program announcement) will be welcome to the thousands of New Hampshire residents that continue to be challenged by financial and mental health difficulties during this more than yearlong historic pandemic, said Rochester Welfare Director Todd Marsh.

Measure to add another $10 million wins widespread backing at Senate committee hearing
February 17, 2021
It seems like there’s a good chance more money will be appropriated into New Hampshire’s Affordable Housing Fund in order to fill the gap in financing for such housing.
The money is in the budget proposed by Gov. Chris Sununu as part of Senate Bill 127, an omnibus appropriations bill proposed by Senate Majority leader Jeb Bradley, R-Wolfeboro. And now it is in SB 152, an affordable housing bill introduced Wednesday to the Senate Health and Human Services Committee by Sen. James Gray, R-Rochester, who sits on the committee, to Bradley who chairs it.
