Located in the heart of Manchester, the Residences at Chestnut includes thirty PBV-VASH units funded by New Hampshire Housing. The property provides veterans with convenient access to local businesses, services, and public transportation. With the new HUD award, NH Housing now administers a total of 227 HUD-VASH vouchers, including the newly awarded twelve, facilitating stable housing for eligible veterans.

The HUD-VASH program combines rental assistance vouchers from HUD with comprehensive case management and supportive services provided by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). NH Housing collaborates closely with its VA partners, including the Manchester VA Medical Center (VAMC) and the White River Junction VAMC, to process referrals and allocate vouchers to ensure veterans receive safe and appropriate housing in the private rental market.

Twenty-eight eligible veterans have successfully leased units at the Residences at Chestnut, with an additional two veterans expected to lease up by July 15, achieving full occupancy of all thirty PBV-VASH units. Each veteran works with HUD-VASH case managers to develop individualized Housing Stability Plans tailored to their unique needs and goals. These plans provide essential supportive services, including assistance with understanding lease obligations, developing budgeting skills, establishing healthy boundaries, and maintaining long-term housing stability.

“We are excited to see the successful lease-up of all units at the Residences at Chestnut as we continue to support our veterans in their journey toward stable housing,” said Brendan Goodwin, Managing Director of NH Housing’s Assisted Housing Division. “The additional HUD vouchers will further enhance our capacity to serve those who have served our country.”

On June 10^th, nine professionals from across the Granite State who work with homebuyers successfully completed the 2025-2026 New Hampshire Housing Homeownership Fellows program. This prestigious program provided participants with a unique opportunity to explore the mortgage finance system and engage in workshops on housing and public policy, economic development, state government issues, and New Hampshire Housing’s homeownership programs.

A highlight of the Fellows program was a visit to Washington, D.C., where participants met with members of New Hampshire’s Congressional delegation and engaged with representatives from the National Council of State Housing Agencies, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, the National Association of Realtors, the Mortgage Bankers Association, and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Throughout the program, Fellows also met with local and state government officials to gain a broader understanding of how housing policy, market conditions, and community needs intersect from the national level to the local level.

The 2026 New Hampshire Housing Homeownership Fellows are:

The Homeownership Division continues to work with a statewide network of lenders and real estate professionals to offer specialized mortgage programs that help residents purchase or refinance homes throughout the Granite State.
