You Can Help Break the Cycle of Homelessness for NH Families
An Invitation to Empower Mothers & Children to Achieve Lasting Stability
A mother finally escapes months of being homeless, turning the key to a place she and her daughter can finally call home. A child nestles into a warm bed of her own, instead of the backseat of a car. A family has the confidence they are safe and supported, with a bright future ahead.
Every day, life-changing moments happen here at New Generation. But the journey to these milestones is often long and challenging – a journey our moms and children can’t complete without people like you.
Today, you can be the catalyst of change. Whether through a gift of time, money, or resources, there are many ways to join our mission to break homelessness among NH families!
Mommy Did It
Abi was 19, homeless, with nowhere to turn and a newborn son depending on her. Facing the echoes of her own troubled past, she found a lifeline in New Generation.
With the support of New Generation staff, Abi attended parenting and financial literacy classes. She learned essential life skills and received guidance on obtaining housing, a driver’s license, a car, and employment. This support system helped her regain her footing and provided a nurturing environment for her son.
Then, the call came. An apartment was available, signaling the end of her long, difficult journey. Abi finally had a place to call home—somewhere safe and stable for her son, something she never had as a child.
Getting Back on their Feet
Jolie was 17 when her son Bentley was born. She calls the funny and energetic young boy “my little best friend.”
Bentley’s earliest days were tough. Jolie escaped an unhealthy home environment in what she calls the darkest days of her life, without much hope and facing an inevitable bout of homelessness. But things changed when they found New Generation.
Upon entering New Generation, Jolie felt a renewed sense of possibility. She had 24/7 support, access to basic necessities, and the chance to set goals for her future. With their help, Jolie obtained her GED, found a job she loved, and applied for Section 8 housing.
Just six days before her 19th birthday, Jolie unlocked the door to her first home with Bentley. This milestone marked the beginning of a brighter future filled with hope and possibilities.
Our Impact
With your support, we have brought hope and stability to countless lives. In the past year alone:
88%
of families who received stabilization services maintained their housing for a year, preventing a common reoccurrence of homelessness among single mothers and children.
8,012
collective resident nights of shelter were provided, helping young children and mothers move closer to a stable and better future.
18
families have reached a significant milestone, securing permanent housing and leaving the shelter system for homes of their own.
86
children escaped homelessness as they and their mothers found safety, shelter and support at New Generation.
69%
of resident mothers secured a steady job that paves the way to self-sufficiency.
Why New Generation Matters
New Generation is not just another shelter. We’re a lifeline, a fresh start, and a community united against homelessness. Without us:
- More children would spend nights in unsafe environments.
- More mothers would face heartbreaking choices between basic needs and their children’s well-being.
- Families would struggle to break free from the cycle of poverty, putting future generations at risk.
- The long-term social and economic costs of homelessness would continue to strain our local resources and services.
Your Gift Can Change a Child’s Life Forever
Right now, there’s a mother and child with no safe place to live. But soon they will come upon the New Generation, with an opportunity to build the safe and stable future they dream of.
Your gift, no matter the amount, can be the biggest turning point in their lives. 92 cents of every dollar directly supporting our programs, your gift will go straight to work, supporting a family’s journey from homelessness to hope.
