Public policies have a profound impact on systems of care, including housing and homeless services. Policymakers in NH are asked to make significant decisions on a variety of different social needs issues, each one deserving, and therefore competing, for attention. To yield positive outcomes through public policy, policymakers must be sufficiently informed on all aspects of the issues at hand. NHCEH maintains consistent communication and coordination with providers throughout the state to stay informed of trends and needs and relays important information to policymakers, working to be both strategic and timely in thought and process.

Further, NHCEH disseminates information to the public in an effort to empower citizens to raise their voices in support of this vulnerable population. The combination of these efforts supports the establishment and maintenance of policies that have a positive impact on homeless and housing issues in NH.
