A brief and well-planned ground breaking or ribbon cutting event can help market your development and help you solidify neighborhood support and ease the way for your next development. It also provides a forum to thank local leaders, partners and staff. Most important, however, you help ensure the future availability of financing for affordable housing by making federal and state lawmakers aware of how their investments benefit the community.

New Hampshire Housing encourages partners to hold dedications to give visibility to your work and to the results of federal, state, and other public and private investments in affordable housing.

To help you in planning, New Hampshire Housing has provided a brochure offering tips for hosting a successful event. We hope that this brochure, and accompanying event planning checklist, will prove beneficial for the novice as well as the experienced developer!
