APRIL 2023
The UNH Survey Center recently released a new poll noting that 32% of New Hampshire residents believe housing is the most important problem facing the state, followed by 10% who believe jobs or the economy are the most important. Knowing that the state has an immediate need of 23,500 units, how do we accelerate the creation of new housing units?

The newly released 2023 New Hampshire Statewide Housing Needs Assessment presents five key findings, including how many housing units the state needs in the next two decades, as well as demographic and market trends, and a look at how we can meet New Hampshire’s housing needs. We have a long way to go: the report notes we need nearly 90,000 units of housing between 2020 and 2040. Click here to download this report and our new Housing Market Snapshot.
