The Incubator Grant, offered through the New Hampshire Housing Finance Authority's Partnership Grant Program, is designed to catalyze new efforts in workforce housing education and advocacy across New Hampshire. This grant targets both established nonprofit economic or community development organizations seeking to launch new workforce housing education and advocacy programs, as well as start-up organizations whose primary mission is workforce housing education and advocacy. The goal is to educate the public and officials about housing needs, foster understanding of the relationship between housing and the regional economy, and encourage actions that reduce community resistance to housing development—particularly around land use regulations.
