Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The lack of affordable housing makes it harder for local employers to hire and retain staff. The housing crisis is described as a threat to the region's economy and social service safety nets. Furthermore, half of all renters in New Hampshire are cost-burdened, paying over 30 percent of their income in rent.
