Development Associate
About the Organization
Established in 2008, the Concord Coalition to End Homelessness (CCEH) is a private nonprofit dedicated to ending homelessness in the greater Concord, NH community. CCEH works closely with the City of Concord and area service providers to educate and inform the public, leads the City’s homelessness response system, and advocates for policy reforms to reduce barriers to housing. CCEH programs address the immediate needs of adults experiencing homelessness at our drop-in Resource Center, street outreach, and emergency winter shelter. Our permanent supportive housing programs include working with landlords, partnering with developers, and purchasing multi-family homes to house individuals exiting homelessness and provide the necessary case worker supports for them to remain stably housed.
On average, the Resource Center serves 45 people daily. Clients can meet their basic needs such as shower, laundry, receipt of mail, and work with a case manager to access mainstream services as well as begin the process to secure housing. The Resource Center also serves as a hub for other service providers such as physical and behavioral health professionals.
The Emergency Winter shelter is open December through March and serves up to 40 adult men and women per night. Operated with a “low barrier” approach, all are welcome as long as their behavior is not disruptive or dangerous. Over the course of the season, approximately 200 utilize the shelter.
