The mission of Belknap House is to provide families in Belknap County safe shelter when children are especially at-risk during homelessness; to empower families to become self-sufficient and independent by providing them with opportunities for education and access to community resources.
Life can be hard for many reasons. Life throws curve balls we never saw coming and we can all use a support sometimes. We have a mission "To strengthen and empower families and our community by promoting health, well-being, and self-sufficiency through positive relationships, support, collaboration and education." Our vision is to see individuals and families have what they need to thrive.
The Electric Assistance Program, or EAP, can help income eligible customers pay their electric bills.
The EAP provides eligible customers with a discount on their monthly electric bills. The discounts range from 5% to 86%, depending on the customer’s gross household income and household size.
All electric utility customers support the statewide EAP through the system benefits charge portion of their electric bill. The EAP discount helps make bills more affordable and helps customers avoid the risk of having their electric service shut off for non-payment. To be eligible for the program, customers must receive an electric bill from a regulated electric utility (Eversource, Unitil, Liberty or NHEC) and have a gross household income that qualifies at the time of application. See Income Eligibility Guidelines.
The EAP is a 12 month bill assistance program. Benefits are subject to the availability of funds. To learn more about the EAP, including how to apply, call your local Community Action Agency office or view the EAP brochure .
If you are homeless or are experiencing a housing crisis, please call NH 2-1-1, or contact your local city or town welfare office.
To find your local office, go to the NH Municipal Association web site and choose “Municipal Directory” from the Resource menu. Contact your town or city welfare for information on Legal Aid.
