New London Housing Commission Begins Needs Assessment

Public invited to event on November 13, at 6 PM

Press release

NEW LONDON — In June of 2024, the Town of New London received a Housing Opportunity Planning Grant (HOP) from the New Hampshire Housing Finance Authority, in the amount of $103,000. Over the next year and a half, this funding will provide a valuable opportunity to study existing land uses, demographics, land use regulations, and existing housing types in New London. This will help us better understand housing needs in New London today.

Led by the New London Housing Committee, in collaboration with a team of professional planners, the Commission is excited to engage community members in a series of public forums to consider the present conditions and determine desired regulatory and non-regulatory approaches to addressing the need for future housing opportunities in the town. This initiative will help our community understand any housing challenges that exist in New London so that we can decide together how to best manage them now and in the future. Please join the Housing Commission and help determine the paths forward!

Save the date: on Wednesday, November 13, at 6 PM, please join us in Wheeler Hall at Colby Sawyer College to learn more about New London’s unique housing challenges and opportunities. Provide your input at this event and help shape our paths forward! For more information or to follow this project, please visit the Paths Home Project website at: newlondon.nh.gov/pathshome.
