Celebrating the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act
Senator Shaheen visited Fox Hill Cooperative, a resident-owned community, with Steve Saltzman and Johanna Beachy, of the Community Loan Fund; Executive Director/CEO Rob Dapice of NH Housing; Community Loan Fund Board Member Victoria Staunches (also Fox Hill Operations Manager); and homeowners of Fox Hill.
The bipartisan 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act is a critical step towards addressing our state's housing affordability crisis and recognizes the key role that manufactured housing plays as part of that effort. We're especially excited to see the PRICE program authorization included to pave the way for continued investment in manufactured housing communities and to preserve and expand this affordable homeownership opportunity for years to come.

Exeter TV recently put a spotlight on an energy solutions program for the Community Loan Fund's resident-owned communities in Exeter.
"The Town of Exeter's Energy Committee and Planning Department have secured a U.S. Department of Energy Grant to help fund energy efficient upgrades for low-income residents. We have partnered with ROC-NH, Resilient Buildings Group and Unitil/NHSaves to secure funding to help reduce home energy cost through installation of energy efficient measures. These grant funds can be used for a variety of efficient upgrades like HVAC upgrades, insulation, air-sealing, water heater upgrades, programmable thermostats, and more."
Elise Foerster, energy project specialist for ROC-NH, noted: "The New Hampshire Saves Program is through the utility companies... all of them in New Hampshire. And then the town of Exeter received an additional $200,000 grant from the Department of Energy to further subsidize the income-driven route of the New Hampshire Saves program."
If you qualify for their income eligible program these improvements may be free to you. If you are a resident of a ROC and live in the following communities, reach out to the town's Conservation and Sustainability Planner Kristen Murphey at (603) 418-6452.
