The city of Portsmouth will give funds allocated from the federal and state government to those financially hit by the economic crisis through the Portsmouth Housing Authority. The Portsmouth Housing Authority protects those who have been a Portsmouth resident or who currently are a resident and are under financial distress. To meet the requirements of a Portsmouth resident you must qualify by these standards as explained in their application for financial assistance:

“definition of a Portsmouth resident: The Portsmouth Housing Authority defines a ‘Portsmouth Resident’ for the purposes of providing resident selection preference for all its housing programs as:
1. An individual or family that has previously reside in the City of Portsmouth for a period no less than 5 consecutive years, who has moved away and now wishes to return to the City to reside.
or
2. An individual or family that has to move to the city of Portsmouth due to age, disability or illness and must live near or with family who resides in the City of Portsmouth and has done so for a period of 2 consecutive years prior to consideration of this request.”

The Portsmouth Housing Authority will house those in need of a residence through programs they designed to make living in the city more affordable. One must meet their financial requirements in order to benefit from such programs, but nevertheless the programs and funding are there for those in need. I urge anyone who believes they may meet the financial requirements of any city to look into financial assistance programs in their area.
