A delay in federal funding has created a difficult gap in housing assistance for people living with HIV in New Hampshire. We are deeply grateful to Lighthouse Credit Union for stepping in with a $10,000 donation to provide critical short-term support for clients served by Harbor Care’s HIV/AIDS Services team.   Stable housing helps people stay connected to care, take their medications consistently and focus on their health. Federal funding is expected to resume in February 2027. Until then, this support will help Harbor Care work to maintain assistance for clients facing uncertainty.   Thank you, Lighthouse Credit Union, for showing up for our community when it matters.

Incredible community support. A huge milestone! We raised a glass last week to the supporters who helped make effectively ending veteran homelessness in Manchester possible. Thank you, Mayor Jay Ruais and the City of Manchester, Manchester VA Health Care, the Manchester Continuum of Care, and all the VSOs and community partners who made this work possible. Special thanks to Veteran Kumar Sookdeo for sharing his story. Harbor Care recently moved Kumar from transitional housing to a permanent home. Together, partners have recorded 152 permanent housing move-ins. The time to identify permanent housing has dropped from 284 days to 90—a 68% improvement!

Fathers and Sons. Our client, James, has a fascinating story to tell. After committing a crime with his father at the age of 17, James went to prison. It was the beginning of a pattern that would define his life: prison, needles, and broken promises. Today, living in our Recovery House, James is finally rebuilding his life and getting to know his own teenage son. “I made the choices I made to end up where I’m at. Nobody forced me. But it was the life I understood,” he said.
