Eleven People HOUSED already in 2022!
|
|
This result is significantly above CCEH’s expectations. In CCEH’s “Paths Toward Housing Solutions,” which is a practical approach to the most viable paths to house people experiencing homelessness, we estimated that ten long-term homeless individuals would be housed IN ALL OF 2022.
CCEH attributes this early success to CCEH’s investment of staff time to create, document and maintain a database of individuals experiencing long-term homelessness, which includes tracking individuals who successfully attain housing.
These eleven individuals secured housing through two of the paths, “Build Relationships with Existing Landlords” and “Creative Solutions Including Programs with Other Agencies.”

N.H. Preservation Alliance Award!
|
|
The Concord Coalition to End Homelessness has received an award from the NH Preservation Alliance for our rehabilitation of 10 Green Street, in which CCEH created four apartments to house people exiting homelessness. The Alliance reviewers noted in their assessment that " Enhancing the character and features of a notable property not only adds significant value to the community, but to the lives of some of its most vulnerable residents."
At the awards ceremony on May 3rd, CCEH Executive Director, Ellen Groh stated: "CCEH is deeply honored to receive this NH Preservation Alliance Award. The award truly goes to our partners, Warrenstreet Architects and JH Spain Commercial Services, because they were the ones who figured out how to preserve the beautiful historical aspects of this building, both inside and outside, and still meet CCEH's mission of creating four apartments for people coming from homelessness. They were immensely creative in both the design of the apartments, and working through all the technical issues of implementing that design. The apartments are truly a place that anyone would be proud to call 'home'. We're grateful to everyone in the community who helped make this vision a reality."

In addition to financial contributions from CWB (Arch of Support), attorneys Tenley Callaghan, Phil Hastings, and Jeffrey Christensen have annually donated countless hours of legal work in support of CCEH's real estate projects. Tenley and Phil, pictured in this post, are also members of CCEH’s Task Force for New Affordable & Supportive Housing.
When receiving the news of the award, Phil Hastings wrote, “That is so thoughtful – we are honored, but, more than that, grateful for all you do for our community and happy to be a small part of those efforts.”

Phil’s words embody the spirit of CCEH’s unsung heroes that we celebrate through this award.
The Golden Gourmet Food Basket Award is a symbolic way that the Concord Coalition to End Homelessness shows our deep gratitude to individuals and organizations who contribute significant volunteer expertise and energy towards the mission of the Coalition.

On Thursday, April 28th, one of several Grace Capital Church Youth Group teams descended on the Tom Fredenburg House to relocate and organize donations and shelving units.
They spent a full morning getting everything done in a timely fashion.
Thank you to the youth and their leaders for breaking down the shelves, transporting everything downstairs, and then putting the shelves back together.
We are beyond grateful for this time-saving donation of your sweat equity. Text
