Mission

Founded in 1994, the Mission of the Nashua Continuum of Care is threefold: (1) To foster and promote comprehensive, cohesive, and coordinated approaches to housing and community resources for homeless persons and families; (2) To identify and address service gaps and risk factors in the community; and (3) To prioritize unmet service needs to develop and oversee a system of prevention, intervention, outreach assessment, direct care and aftercare for homeless individuals and families

Purpose

Networking and collaborating to formalize coordinated strategies towards the development of an unduplicated, seamless service provision for the community's homeless population. The ultimate vision for success held by the Greater Nashua COC is one of an idealistic community where homelessness no longer exists. In this vision, there are adequate resources for each individual to access the goods and services he or she requires. An ample supply of safe, affordable, permanent housing and support services would assure that no one will have to sleep on the streets, in automobiles, park benches or places unfit for human habitation.

The Greater Nashua COC is also responsible for the development and implementation of the
Greater Nashua Ten Year Plan for Ending Homelessness, a copy of which is available here.

Meetings

Monthly meetings, attended by representatives of the Federal, State and City governments, housing program directors, hospitals, veterans, social service agencies, homeless people, police, fire, financial community, private sector representatives, and religious institutions of several denominations
