CONWAY — The abrupt ending of Emergency Rental Assistance in New Hampshire will affect people in Conway in particular, says the town’s general assistance officer.
The federally funded program was administered through a partnership with the state via the Governor’s Office for Emergency Relief and Recovery, NH Housing and the state’s five Community Action Partnership agencies. Conway is served by Tri-County CAP, based in Berlin.
