Homelessness in Southern New Hampshire !♦ There are at least 355 homeless
students (K-12) in our local area. !♦ Families with children make up
51% of the homeless population in Rockingham County. !
♦ No shelters or transitional housing for families exist in our area.
The Interfaith Hospitality Network !It’s not a homeless shelter, and it’s not transitional housing. What it is: !Host/Support Congregations. Ten to thirteen local congregations participate in an Interfaith Hospitality Network (IHN) as host congregations. For one week at a time, on a rotating basis, host congregations provide overnight lodging, meals, and hospitality for three to five families from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 a.m. Support congregations, those who cannot host families but want to help, provide financial support or volunteers. Congregations host families 4-6 times per year. !Day Center. Families go to a Day Center from 7:00 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day. There they can shower, do laundry, and care for preschool-age children. Using the day center address and phone, they look for employment and housing. School-aged children are able to remain in their home schools. !Family Support Services. A full-time Network Director and case manager provide intensive case management and education in areas such as job skills, financial literacy including budgeting, nutrition, and parenting to help families regain independence. Local agencies assist in finding housing, jobs, and medical and government assistance. !Transportation. If needed, Family Promise provides van transportation for guests. !Volunteers. Volunteers work at host congregations and the Day Center. They cook/serve meals, play with children, help with homework, interact with guests, and provide overnight on-site support. They help families move into their new homes, deliver donated items, and much more.
