Project:  Crossroads House

Location: Portsmouth NH

Description: 

“We're Local People Helping Each Other”

Cross Roads House opened its doors in 1982 to assist homeless individuals and families. We have since become one of the largest emergency and transitional shelters in New Hampshire, serving eastern New Hampshire and southern Maine. We currently house approximately 100 people on any given night, and our emergency shelter is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Cross Roads House offers food, shelter, and a proven program that helps our residents achieve their goal of independent and sustainable housing. In fact, the majority of people who have participated in our transitional program leave Cross Roads House for permanent housing, equipped with tangible goals and the skills to achieve them.

Volunteers are vital to the success of the programs at Cross Roads House. Our volunteers help us provide life-changing assistance to the hundreds of homeless men, women, and children we serve each year.
