The Town of New Boston Welfare Department provides interim emergency assistance for eligible residents. Requests for assistance can be made through a written application process and an initial assessment intake. 

The welfare application can be found by clicking “Application for Assistance Package” on the top left of this page. If you are unable to access the application online you can stop by the Town Hall at 7 Meetinghouse Hill Rd. and get a printed copy in the main lobby. Completed applications can be dropped at the town hall or emailed to welfare@newbostonnh.gov.

In addition to the application, you will be asked to provide the following documentation:

Photo ID

Rental agreement/verification or mortgage information

Bank statements for all members of household

Bills including rent receipts, utilities, telephone, cable, storage unit, doctor/medical bills, car, insurance

Paycheck stubs for the previous 4 weeks or proof of termination of employment

Any other source of income including but not limited to tax returns, child support, or gifts from family/friends

Documentation from other agencies such as DHHS, Fuel Assistance, Social Security, Unemployment

Medical notes when appropriate

Eligibility is based on a financial review of basic needs and available applicant resources. 

If you are in need of long-term assistance such as Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF), foster care, disability grants, Medicaid, food stamps, and more, you should contact the New Hampshire Dept. of Health and Human Services, 603-883-7726, or nheasy.nh.gov. If you are eligible and have not yet applied for state or federal aid that may become a requirement for your approval of town assistance.
