New Hampshire faces a critical housing supply problem, especially affordable housing to support a growing workforce. Having a range of housing types for all segments of the population should be a primary concern for all New Hampshire communities. Finding solutions to this housing challenge will require collaboration among all levels of government, and a wide range of stakeholders. This new handbook focuses on the range of tools and techniques that can be employed at the local level and provides highlights of a number of successful efforts. Further, “Housing Solutions” offers tools such as sample municipal regulations that demonstrate methods for communities to provide for affordable and workforce housing development opportunities.
