COMMUNITY ACTION PARTNERSHIP HILLSBOROUGH AND ROCKINGHAM COUNTIES
The mission of Southern NH services is to provide activities designed to assist low-income participants (including the elderly poor) to secure and retain meaningful employment, attain an adequate education, and make better use of available income; to ameliorate the causes of poverty within our community; to meet urgent and immediate individual and family needs; including health, nutrition, housing, and employment related assistance; and to address the problems and barriers which block the achievement of self-sufficiency.
