State Resources
EMERGENCY SHELTER
Dial 211 if you or someone you know needs help locating emergency shelter.
NH 211 is not just for crisis situations!
Callers anywhere in the state of New Hampshire can dial 211 and be connected, free of charge, to a trained information and referral specialist who is equipped to help residents access ALL of the health and human services (both nonprofit and government) available to them.
If you’re worried about an elderly parent being able to live on their own, if you have a child who is autistic and want to know what services are available to you, if you’re behind on your mortgage and worried about losing your home, if you are a senior and need help with home repairs… NH 211 is a resource for all NH residents.
If you would rather search for resources online, we suggest you use the ServiceLink Community Resource Directory.
