The Plan

Our Place NH is building a future where adults with developmental disabilities can live independently, with dignity, and as part of a vibrant community.

We are focused on creating supportive housing in the New Hampshire Seacoast area to meet the needs of this population.

A Supportive Home for 11 Tenants

Our first project is a self-contained residence designed to offer independent living with shared community support. Each tenant will have a one- or two-bedroom apartment with a private kitchenette, living room, bathroom, and bedroom(s).

At the heart of the building will be a shared common space — including a large kitchen, dining room, and living area — where tenants can gather for meals, activities, or simply to connect.

The home will be staffed 24/7 by qualified care providers under the supervision of a house manager. Tenants will also receive support and transportation to fully participate in their community — including work, recreation, and medical appointments.

Our first property was purchased on August 1, 2024, at 105 Durham Road in Dover, NH. We are currently raising funds to renovate the existing building and construct four additional units, creating supportive housing for 11 individuals.

Financial Sustainability and Choice

Our model is designed to be financially accessible, relying on a combination of:

Supplemental Security Income (SSI)

Section 8 Housing vouchers

Medicaid-funded services provided through the Area Agency system

We are following the successful model established by Visions Creative Housing Solutions in Enfield, NH, which ensures that families are not required to “buy in” to secure housing for their loved ones.

Each tenant will receive services based on their Individual Service Agreement, and most importantly, will have free choice and autonomy in all areas of their life.

At Our Place NH, we are committed to creating homes — not institutions — where each resident is respected, supported, and part of a community.

This is only the beginning! Once our first home is up and running, we plan to start work on a second.
