Libraries should be controlled by the people and not by the government--to preserve critical thinking and avoid authoritarianism.

I support HB 1613 because increasing lending options for housing that serves people with disabilities is essential to meeting New Hampshire’s accessibility and affordability needs. A clear, data-driven report from BEA will help identify barriers and guide effective policy solutions

This important Bill direct the department of business and economic affairs to produce a report detailing methods to increase lending practices for housing developments that help persons with disabilities.

Laurie McIntoshSupportDover, NHfor MyselfFeb 10, 2026

To the members of the House Housing Committee, As a mother of two adult sons with developmental disabilities, I am alarmed at the lack of housing options for this population. Passage of HB 1613 would be a step in the right direction to solve this problem. This type of study is essential to explore the issues and identify the barriers to housing for people with disabilities. New Hampshire cannot continue to ignore this problem and rely on aging parents to keep on supporting their loved ones. Please vote in favor of House Bill 1613. Thank you, Laurie McIntosh
