Affordability was the number one issue cited through citizen comments. Housing has become expensive, and many people are stretching their budgets to pay for housing. In addition, the conditions of aging housing stock in Manchester, which could be more affordable than newer construction, present issues that require substantial investment to be maintained as decent housing. The affordability issue for housing in New Hampshire as a whole has reached a “crisis” level. In response, the New Hampshire Housing Finance Authority and the Business Industry Association have been hosting state and local leaders at forums and summits convened specifically to address the topic.
