Emergency help first (today and this week)

Here’s a simple plan if you need help right now.

  1. No food today
  • Call 211 to locate the nearest pantry that’s open today.
  • Ask about Meals on Wheels and same-week food distributions.
  • Apply for SNAP immediately at NH EASY. If your situation is urgent, ask 211 or DHHS about “expedited SNAP.” See the federal SNAP state directory at USDA SNAP State Directory for New Hampshire contact info.
  1. No heat, power, or at risk of shutoff
  1. Nowhere to sleep tonight
  • Call 211. They coordinate with the NH Department of Health and Human Services’ housing providers and will direct you to emergency shelter beds and, during winter, approved warming spaces. The state’s homelessness programs are overseen by DHHS’s Bureau of Housing Supports; start with 211.
  1. Abuse, neglect, or exploitation
  • Call Adult Protective Services. If you can’t find the number, call 211 and ask to be transferred to BEAS/APS. Learn more at the NH DHHS site by searching “Adult Protective Services” at NH DHHS.
  1. Running out of prescription medicine
  • Call your doctor or pharmacy for an emergency supply. If cost is the barrier, call 211 and ask about patient assistance programs or sliding-fee community health centers. You can also find a low-cost clinic near you using the federal locator at Find a Health Center (HRSA).
  • If you have Medicaid or a Medicare Advantage plan, call your plan’s member services number on your card. Plans often have processes for urgent refills.
  1. No money for essentials this week
  • Every city and town in New Hampshire must provide local welfare (“general assistance”) to residents in financial crisis under state law (RSA 165). You apply at your city/town welfare office (usually at town hall or the city welfare department). For a plain-language explainer, see Local Welfare: Your Guide (NH Legal Assistance) and ask your town clerk where to apply.

Reality check: Some services are stretched, especially in winter or during disasters. Keep calling 211 for updated openings. Document your calls and take names. Ask to be waitlisted and if there are alternative providers in nearby towns.

What to apply for this month

These are the main programs that stabilize income, food, housing, health care, and utilities for older adults in New Hampshire.

Table 2. Key programs for NH seniors (what they do and where to apply)

  • Application help: Your Community Action Agency can often help complete forms for energy and some benefit programs. See “Resources by Region.”

Food and nutrition: get groceries and meals flowing

  • SNAP (Food Stamps): Apply online at NH EASY. Seniors with high medical costs should list those costs; it can increase your SNAP benefit. For state contact details and eligibility basics, see USDA SNAP – State Directory.

Reality check: SNAP and CSFP can take time to start. Ask your local pantry (via 211) about emergency food today and scheduled distributions this week. Many pantries allow a proxy if you are homebound—ask how to set that up.

Health care, Medicare/Medicaid, and in-home supports

  • Medicare questions and plan counseling: ServiceLink is New Hampshire’s State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP). They offer free, unbiased help with Medicare Parts A, B, C, D, Medigap, and drug cost help (Extra Help/MSPs). Call 1-866-634-9412 or visit the NH DHHS site and search “ServiceLink.”
  • Medicaid for seniors: Apply at NH EASY. If you need long-term care at home or in assisted living/nursing home, ask about the “Choices for Independence (CFI)” waiver. Start with NH DHHS and search “Medicaid” and “Choices for Independence,” or call ServiceLink for a warm handoff to BEAS.
  • Non-emergency medical transportation: NH Medicaid covers rides to eligible medical appointments. The phone number varies by health plan/broker. Check the number on your Medicaid card or call DHHS via NH DHHS Medicaid and ask for transportation information.
  • Community health centers: If you do not have a doctor, find a sliding-fee clinic near you via HRSA Find a Health Center.
  • Long-Term Care Ombudsman: If you have concerns about care or rights in a nursing home or assisted living, contact the Long-Term Care Ombudsman (through BEAS). Go to the NH DHHS site and search “Long-Term Care Ombudsman.”

Tip: Keep a notebook with your insurance cards, provider list, prescriptions, and phone numbers. When you call agencies, write down the date, time, and the person you spoke with.

Energy, heat, and utilities: staying warm and connected

Table 3. Energy and utility help in New Hampshire

Program/Help What it covers Who qualifies How to start
Fuel Assistance Program (LIHEAP) A portion of winter heating costs (oil, propane, kerosene, electric, natural gas). Income-eligible households (homeowners or renters). Apply via your regional Community Action agency: CAPNH – Energy Programs.

Note on the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP): The federal ACP has been wound down. For current updates, see the FCC’s ACP page: FCC – ACP. Lifeline remains available year-round.

Housing and property tax relief

  • Emergency shelter and homelessness help: Call 211. NH DHHS’s Bureau of Housing Supports funds shelters and outreach statewide; 211 tracks openings.

  • Property tax relief for low/moderate-income homeowners: The state provides annual relief for eligible homeowners. See the NH Department of Revenue Administration site and search “Low and Moderate Income Homeowners Property Tax Relief”: NH DRA. Your town may also offer senior exemptions or deferrals—ask your city/town assessor’s office.
  • Local welfare (general assistance): Every NH city and town must have a welfare office under RSA 165 to help residents in financial crisis with basic needs. Apply at your local city/town office. For a plain-language guide, see NH Legal Assistance – Local Welfare.

Tip: When you apply for housing, keep a folder with your ID, Social Security card, proof of income, bank statements, and a list of addresses from the last five years. Missing paperwork is the most common delay.

Money, legal, and consumer protection

Reality check: Be cautious with unsolicited calls about Medicare, “utility bill reductions,” or “free home repairs.” Never give your Medicare or Social Security number to a caller you didn’t contact first. Verify with ServiceLink or the official agency link in this guide.

Veterans and military-connected seniors

  • NH Office of Veterans Services: State-accredited help with VA claims, pensions, Aid & Attendance, and state benefits. See NH Office of Veterans Services.
  • VA Health Care: The main facility is the Manchester VA Medical Center with community clinics statewide.
  • Aid & Attendance/Housebound pension: Helps veterans and surviving spouses who need help with activities of daily living. Learn more at VA Aid & Attendance and Housebound.
  • Veterans Crisis Line: Dial 988, then press 1, or text 838255.

Inclusive support: LGBTQ+ seniors, Native/tribal elders, and rural families

LGBTQ+ seniors

Native/tribal elders

  • New Hampshire does not have a federally recognized tribe in-state, but Native American elders who are members of federally recognized tribes may access federal programs. For health services, see Indian Health Service – Find Health Care. For aging services under Title VI, see ACL – Title VI Native American Aging Programs to locate your tribe’s program if you are enrolled.
  • For help coordinating benefits across state lines (for example, if your tribe is in Maine or Massachusetts), contact ServiceLink for case management support.

Rural seniors and families (North Country, Upper Valley, Lakes Region)

  • Transportation can be limited. Ask ServiceLink about volunteer driver programs and regional transit (e.g., Tri-County Transit, Advance Transit, Concord Area Transit). Use Medicaid transportation if eligible.
  • Use HRSA’s clinic finder to locate sliding-fee clinics: Find a Health Center.
  • For propane/oil deliveries in winter, contact CAP early for Fuel Assistance; deliveries can take longer in storms. See CAPNH – Energy Programs.

Step-by-step: applying without getting overwhelmed

  1. List what you need this month: food, heat, rent, medical, transportation.
  2. Apply online where possible: NH EASY for SNAP and Medicaid/MSPs.
  3. Call Community Action for energy help and application help: find your region below.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: I can’t afford my property taxes this year. What should I do?

  • Ask your city/town assessor about senior exemptions, credits, or deferrals available locally. Then apply for the statewide Low and Moderate Income Homeowners Property Tax Relief with the NH Department of Revenue Administration. Visit NH DRA and search “Property Tax Relief.” Deadlines apply—file early.

Q: My power company sent a shutoff notice. Can they turn me off in winter?

  • New Hampshire has consumer protections, including medical protections and winter disconnection rules. Act fast: call your utility to set up a payment plan and ask your doctor about medical certification if applicable. Then call your Community Action Agency for Electric Assistance and Fuel Assistance. See NH Department of Energy – Consumers and NH PUC – Consumer Information.

Q: I’m on Medicare but my drug costs are too high. Any help?

  • Yes. Apply for Extra Help (low-income subsidy) for Part D and ask about Medicare Savings Programs that can pay your Part B premium. Apply via NH EASY and get free counseling from ServiceLink (1-866-634-9412).

Q: I want to stay at home, not go to a nursing home. What program helps with that?

  • Ask about the Medicaid Choices for Independence (CFI) waiver. It can provide in-home services like personal care, homemaker, and respite if you meet financial and medical criteria. Start at NH DHHS (search “Choices for Independence”) or call ServiceLink.

Q: I can’t get to the doctor. Who provides rides?

  • If you have Medicaid, call the transportation number on your card. Otherwise, contact ServiceLink to find volunteer driver programs and ADA paratransit in your area. Regional transit links are listed above.

Q: Are there still federal internet discounts like ACP?

  • The Affordable Connectivity Program has been wound down. For updates, see the FCC ACP page. Lifeline phone/broadband discounts are still available; see Lifeline Support.

Q: I think someone is taking my money. Who do I call?

  • If it’s urgent, call 911. Report suspected financial exploitation to Adult Protective Services (contact via 211 or the APS page on NH DHHS). Also report scams to the NH DOJ Consumer Protection Bureau.

Q: Does New Hampshire have emergency rental assistance right now?

  • Funding levels change. Call 211 for current programs and openings, and check New Hampshire Housing for rental assistance and waitlist updates.

Q: I’m a veteran. Who can help me apply for Aid & Attendance?

Q: I’m homebound. How do I apply for SNAP?

  • Apply online at NH EASY. If you need help, call ServiceLink or your Community Action Agency; they can help with the application and may arrange a phone interview with DHHS.

Reality checks, warnings, and tips

  • Don’t wait for shutoff notices. Call your utility and Community Action as soon as the bill starts to get out of reach.
  • Town welfare is a safety net you paid for with your taxes. There is no shame in using it when you need it. Bring proof of need and be ready to follow up.
  • Keep copies of everything you submit. Take photos of documents with your phone and email them to yourself.
  • If you get denied for a program, ask about appeal rights. Many denials are reversed with missing paperwork or a simple correction.
