NH Law Librarian Mary Searles has created a web page, about
Temporary Protection from Eviction Effective Aug. 3, 2021 through October 3, 2021
The very important change to note is that this version of the moratorium ONLY covers tenants who are living in counties who are experiencing substantial to high transmission of COVID-19. So far Merrimack county is not one of them, but six other NH counties are.
Contact CAP at 603-456-2207 for assistance with electric bills or heating costs.

The CDC recently changed its mask guidelines for vaccinated people, recommending mask use indoors, especially in areas with higher infection numbers.
Cases of the more contagious and serious Delta variant in NH are increasing but only hospitalized cases and deaths are being reported. SIX NH Counties are now considered a "substantial risk" area. View risk ratings and vaccination levels by county at https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#county-view Please consider wearing masks indoors in public to protect the 21% of our population who are under 12 years old who cannot be vaccinated yet, and others.
Vaccinations for Covid-19 are FREE, and available for ages 12 and up.
