___________________________________________________________
Verify the individual’s New Hampshire residence using any document that reasonably establishes an address. Individuals need not have a fixed living address as long as their New Hampshire residency can be verified.
Examples of Acceptable Proofs for NH Residency:
• lease, rental agreement, or rent receipt;
• electric, cable, heating fuel, or telephone bill;
• property tax bill;
• motor vehicle registration;
• library card or correspondence; or
• third party statement (e.g., physician, school, etc.).
Addresses such as post office boxes, rural route addresses, or general delivery addresses cannot establish New Hampshire residency.
Documenting the Address of Homeless Households in New HEIGHTS
For individuals or households that are considered homeless, do the following when entering the residential address into New HEIGHTS:
• Enter "homeless" as the residential address;
• Enter the DO’s mailing address for the individual’s or household’s mailing address; and
• Enter the DO’s name into the "Care Of" field.
The individual or household is responsible for retrieving their mail at the DO until the individual or household provides another mailing address.
