# GOV   Homeless Services GAP Analysis Comm 11 12 2026


**Body:** Nashua BOA Meetings
**Date:** November 12, 2026
**Jurisdiction:** SLED

The Nashua Homeless Services Gap Analysis Committee met on November 12, 2026, to review preliminary homelessness-system data, plan outreach to people with lived experience, and revise a survey for local service providers. Preliminary findings indicated that more people enter homelessness each year than exit to housing, although the net system flow improved from −408 to −245; chronic homelessness was identified as a major concern, and the system was described as relying more on transitional housing than rapid rehousing. Members planned at least two listening sessions at locations including the resource center and warming station, with input from people experiencing homelessness incorporated into session planning.

The committee reviewed survey questions on provider capacity, housing placements, service gaps, staffing, and funding sources, including federal, state, municipal, and county support. Members also assigned data-gathering tasks, including city budget research; the task assignments were approved, with an amendment accepted without objection. The committee discussed extending future meetings from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. as needed and setting aside time for focused public comment, but no decision on that proposal is recorded in the provided transcript. No contract awards, vendor selections, purchasing approvals, or specific spending allocations were identified.
