HEALTHCARE AND PUBLIC POLICY

  • Access NH
    • The Access New Hampshire: Living with Disability in the Granite State project is a joint research effort by representatives of the Institute on Disability, Disabilities Rights Center, Granite State Independent Living, New Hampshire Developmental Disabilities Council, the New Hampshire Department of Education, the New Hampshire Division of Behavioral Health, the New Hampshire Bureau of Developmental Services, and the Governor’s Commission on Disability. Its mission is to help legislators, state and local agencies, and the broader public understand the extent to which New Hampshire enables all its residents – particularly those living with some form of a disability – to live and participate in their communities. By highlighting key issues – education, health care, employment, and community supports – we hope not only to raise awareness about the barriers confronting individuals with disabilities, but also to initiate a statewide conversation about how to work together to address these challenges.
  • The Center for Housing and New Community Economics (CHANCE)
    • CHANCE's mission is to improve and increase access to integrated, affordable, and accessible housing coordinated with, but separate from, personal assistance and supportive services. CHANCE's purpose will be to offer alternatives to approaches that segregate, congregate, and control people with disabilities.
  • Sustainable Transportation Research and Policy Center
    • The mission of the Center is to promote and conduct transportation research, development, and educational activities. Faculty and staff seek to develop practical approaches to improving transportation system performance through the efficient transit of people, goods, and services. The Center's first publication, NH Speaks Out: We Want Public Transportation, was very well received throughout New Hampshire and continues to be used at multiple levels of government to bring attention to the need for diverse mobility options to access community resources.
