CATCH Neighborhood Housing

For more than 35 years, CATCH Neighborhood Housing has provided places that everyday people can call home. Places where memories are made, children can sleep soundly at night, and where all of our residents feel safe and valued. Today, for NHGives, we are asking you to make a donation to help ensure that we can continue to create communities through quality affordable housing, financial education, and housing counseling services for many years to come! 

Today, affordable and workforce housing for low- and moderate-income families and individuals is at a premium in New Hampshire. Rental costs continue to rise, and housing market inflation over the past many years has forced more people to rent rather than buy. The housing created by CATCH helps people like teachers, nurses, and policemen who are starting out in their jobs. It helps folks working in desperately needed but often underpaid non-profit and service jobs, young families, veterans, retirees, single parents and all others who make our communities a better place, but who have a limited income that does not support buying or owning a home in this difficult housing market. 

Everyday people with good jobs face several challenges in our state, from financial literacy to understanding the available resources in their communities to improve health and happiness. Housing insecurity needs to be eliminated in New Hampshire for our state economy to thrive and CATCH is up to the challenge! According to the New Hampshire Policy Fiscal Institute and a 2023 New Hampshire Statewide Housing Needs Assessment, housing in the Granite State currently falls short of needs by an estimated 23,500 housing units. By 2040, New Hampshire will need nearly 90,000 units to meet the state's housing demand. This is where CATCH can make a difference by providing safe and affordable homes, fair and reasonable property management through CATCH's subsidiary non-profit Alliance Asset Management, and financial literacy for those working to take the next step in home ownership through HOMEteam. 

Thanks to the support of its staff, Board, donors, community partners, neighbors, and residents, CATCH has an award-winning and proven track record of success with creative housing solutions, sound financial footing, sophisticated management, and entrepreneurial development of alternative revenue streams. Here at CATCH we like to say we provide a hand up, not a hand out! 

CATCH Neighborhood Housing is a 501(c)3, community-based non-profit organization offering a full spectrum of housing and education services in Merrimack County and beyond. CATCH meets the needs of the communities it serves by constructing new affordable housing units and revitalizing existing housing in an area where affordable rental options are limited.
