New Hampshire's housing market, a blend of urban centers and rural communities, faces significant cost-of-living pressures driven by rising property values and limited inventory, making affordable rental options scarce. This scarcity disproportionately impacts low-income families, seniors on fixed incomes, and individuals with disabilities, who most frequently require rental assistance to secure stable housing.
