The Way Home, a non-profit dedicated to helping low-income households obtain and succeed in safe, affordable housing.  Since 1988, The Way Home has assisted 15,000 families and individuals with their housing needs.

Demand for our homeless prevention services has increased dramatically with the economy downturn. In 2009, more families have been pushed to the edge of homelessness due to forelclosures of single-family homes and of multi-family rental properties.

Many families and individuals are at-risk due to job losses. In spite of the bursting of the housing bubble, housing remains too expensive for many families in southern New Hampshire. In 2008, the affordable housing wage needed to rent a two-bedroom apartment in the state was approximately $19.45/hr. Low wage workers continue to be one paycheck from homelessness, even as more apartments become vacant.

Our Housing Resource Center - 214 Spruce Street, Manchester - provides HUD certified housing counseling for at-risk home owners, renters, and homeless persons as part of our innovative homelessness prevention and intervention programs. Working with community partners, we offer resources to help make housing safe, to help secure rental housing, and to provide transitional shelter & permanent supportive rental housing.

... Because Everyone Deserves a Home!
