Veterans First Transitional Housing

NH’s veterans are resourceful and hard-working. To escape homelessness, they often only need to regain steady footing, such as a safe home and routine health care. Harbor Care’s FIRST Transitional Housing program and facilities provides veterans and their families the safe, supportive environment they need to reclaim stability. Please reach out to learn how the program could help you. Contact us by email or phone at (603) 305-1122.

How It Works

In our Transitional Housing for Veterans, veterans and their families live in private apartments in one of our three apartment complexes located in Nashua and Manchester, NH. 

While living in Transitional Housing, veterans pursue employment, further their education, or expand their skills by volunteering within the community. They work closely with both a case manager and, as needed, an employment specialist to permanently escape homelessness. Through our integrated services, as well as community partners, they also access health care, transportation, and meaningful income. This program is sponsored through a US Department of Veteran Affairs grant. 

By the end of their stay, veterans have the income and healthcare they need to live independently, with pride and dignity. 

Qualifications & Cost

The program serves veterans who are homeless. Once accepted into the program, veterans and their families pay an affordable portion of their income towards rent.

Locations

Harbor Homes currently operates three transitional housing facilities throughout NH.

  • Buckingham Place is a 20-unit one and two bedroom apartment complex at 46 Spring Street in Nashua. The facility provides handicapped accessible apartments as well as common areas and a large community room. Named “Buckingham Place” after Byron Buckingham, a local veteran advocate, the facility was the first of its kind in the nation to house male and female veterans as well as their families.

  • Dalianis House is a 40-unit apartment complex located at 59 Factory Street in Nashua. In 2010, Harbor Care spearheaded a massive renovation of the property (once a furniture outlet), and now serves male veterans in one bedroom and single room occupancy apartments. 

  • BAE Systems Independence Hall is a 26-unit one and two bedroom apartment complex for male and female veterans and their families, located at 335 Somerville Street in Manchester. Six of the apartments house veteran households permanently in supportive housing.
