Do you know someone who is behind on rent and utilities because of COVID-19? Whether or not they qualify for the new eviction moratorium, they may be eligible for assistance from the NH Emergency Rental Assistance Program . It provides funds to renters who cannot pay their rent and utilities due to the impact of COVID-19, and works with landlords. Eligibility details and applications are at CAPNH.org, through the NH Community Action Partnership (CAP) agencies. 

For assistance with an eviction: Contact 603 Legal Aid, which provides free civil legal services to low-income people. Note that a new law bars eviction for nonpayment of rent if tenants have paid or have qualified for rental assistance.

If you're a homeowner at risk of foreclosure or are having difficulty paying your home mortgage, utilities, home insurance or property taxes, please call 2-1-1 for a referral to a housing counselor. The federal Homeowner Assistance Fund program will launch later this year.


The New Hampshire Housing Team
Owners and managers of more than 24,560 unsubsidized rental housing units around the state responded to this year’s survey of market-rate apartments. The survey results depict a rental market with low inventory, lower vacancy rates (below 1%), and higher rents, meaning that it remains a very challenging market for New Hampshire renters.

This fall, our Housing Market Report will look more deeply into current data on New Hampshire’s economy, as well as the state’s homeownership and rental markets.
