Fighting Homelessness In New Hampshire

By Laura Knoy on Friday, March 7, 2008.

Manchester takes a stand against homelessness. The city’s mayor, Frank Guinta, recently called homelessness “unacceptable” and released his ten-year plan to end it. We’ll look at what his proposal aims to do, how it compares to past efforts in New Hampshire, and who’s involved in this endeavor. The plan brings in everyone - government, the public, non-profits, and the private sector. We'll also hear from Nashua, one of America's success stories when it comes to reducing homelessness.

Guests

  • Keith Kuenning of the New Hampshire Coalition To End Homelessness
  • Mary Sliney, director of The Way Home, a transitional shelter for the homeless

We'll also hear from

  • Dick Anagnost, a private developer who has built affordable housing units throughout New Hampshire
  • Frank Guinta, Mayor of Manchester
  • Donnalee Lozeau, Mayor of Nashua
