The Coalition seeks to understand and eliminate the causes of homelessness through collaboration, coordination of advocacy and education, and are the only statewide voice for NH's homeless. Unfortunately the Coalition was coming out of a transition period and was experiencing some challenges around organizational capacity. The grant was an investment in the new leadership as much as it was the outcomes/outputs. As the grant period progressed an opportunity to become more involved in the development of a 10-year plan to end homelessness in NH (endorsed by the Governor) presented itself and the Coalition requested a shift in focus. The creation of the 10-year plan was viewed as more of a priority by stakeholders, the Coalition's board and staff, and presented a secondary opportunity for the Coalition to re-establish itself as a leader around this important issue. We allowed the Coalition to use the grant to take a leadership role in the creation and dissemination of the 10-year plan and to provide direction and support to the Governor's Interagency Council on Homelessness.
The 10-year plan was delivered to the Governor on Homeless Memorial Day (December 21, 2005) with much fanfare and is a powerful document that provides specific, concrete action steps for NH and our policymakers. The document enhances the body of knowledge in NH around the causes of homelessness and how to effectively address them. As a testament to the Coalition's leadership the Governor's Interagency Council on Homelessness nominated them as the lead agency to oversee implementation of the 10-year plan. The collaborative effort was the perfect venue for the Coalition to re-emerge as the leader on eliminating homelessness and to form new partnerships in their efforts. Our modest investment yielded significant returns relative to leadership, knowledge and collaboration. It also helped to strengthen the organization's capacity |

Many of the organization's satellite offices are quite rural, are distant from one another (Bristol, Haverhill, Lin-Wood, Plymouth, Littleton, Mascoma, Orford, and Lebanon) and operate with volunteers and minimal staff. Organizational leadership recognized the potential of using technology more effectively to ultimately enhance service delivery. With a clear understanding of the need and a vision for strengthening the organization's technological infrastructure, Grafton County Senior Citizen's Council was able to centralize their data management using a Wide Area Network in collaboration with seven remote sites and with leadership from the administrative office in Lebanon. The Technical Assistance Grant from the EH helped the organization to leverage other public and private funding sources and to complete a network that allows the organization to communicate electronically countywide. Having the capacity to transfer data electronically (e.g. statistical data for funder reporting that was previously manually submitted and re-keyed), to centralize data management (e.g. file and document back-up), and to eliminate redundant equipment that needed to be maintained locally, has strengthened the overall capacity of the organization. The initiative was very well managed by project director, Beth Schibley. By all accounts, the project was a huge success and the EH is pleased to have had the opportunity to contribute modestly to its accomplishments. |

| Project: | NH AFL-CIO EAP Services, Inc. | | Grant Type: | Planning Grant | | Amount: | $19,876 | | Grant Date: | June 20, 2005 | | Duration: | 6 months | | Area(s): | State of NH | | Description: | To preserve health insurance coverage for construction workers and to inform public policy deliberations by convening labor, management and other stakeholders in order to plan and undertake a comprehensive analysis of construction bidding and procurement policies and practices and the link between those practices and workers' access to health insurance and health care. | | Detail: | To support lead contract staff, consultants, and related expenses for convening key stakeholders, conducting focus groups and discussion sessions; gathering data and analyzing existing research and relevant case studies to formulate a comprehensive plan for further research and public policy input. | | Outcomes: | The non-profit arm of the NH AFL-CIO conducted a planning grant to understand the health insurance coverage issues for construction workers and contractors in New Hampshire. The process included convening construction workers and groups of contractors who employed union workers and those who did not. Accompanying research sought information on the coverage offered by the joint labor management trust funds, overall information on health insurance in NH and the nation, and a scan of procurement policies from around the nation that address similar issues. The convening on union and non-union contractors and labor unions was both an activity and a product of the project. Another element, monitoring the progress of a NH House study committee on related legislation, was limited because the committee did not have this first meeting during the grant period. The final output of the project was a report that outlined the findings, summarized the situation in the field and policy options in place in other communities.
The project was challenged early on by the departure of its key researcher for a full time work commitment; another qualified researched needed to identified and oriented to the project. Hoped-for funding from the Harvard School of Public Health did not materialize. The issues of the departure of the SEIU from the AFL-CIO did not materially affect the project, but they certainly did affect many of the players in terms of their employment and other concerns. In addition, the long delay of the first meeting of the House Study Committee made some of the activities difficult to achieve. The availability of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Services to assist with the contractor/union discussion was an unexpected additional benefit to the project. The FMCS brought its Technology Assisted Group Solutions process, which included computer-mediated discussion and surveying.
Key learning for the Endowment included: working in an area of health coverage (procurement policy and union health insurance trust funds) that had not featured heavily in our work on this issue, experience with the computer mediated convening process, beginning work an areas of public policy i.e., procurement and labor) that were not at the forefront of NH’s policy discussions. Certainly, the project did enhance our own knowledge, and with the release of the report will enhance the knowledge in the state of the impact of health insurance coverage on labor and the construction field. The work has meshed well with our work on social cultural barriers to access on the issue of misclassification of workers for health, workers’ compensation, unemployment, and other benefits. |

In many ways, the project has been successful, with an ongoing Time Exchange created that creates bonds within their community (note I did not say across the community) and added to the availability or support and help, rides, etc.
However, many of the issues we had concerns about came to pass:
VISTA staffing can have bumps as staffers come and go, gaps occur and skill sets differ.
It does not appear that AA was able to reach out beyond its core constituency, which was a major concern during the review.
