License exemption for disability supportive housing
New Hampshire exempts certain supportive housing units from state residential care licensing. The unit must care for one person or up to three people and be within a facility certified by the state Department of Health and Human Services. A “dwelling unit” means a single leasable unit with its own kitchen, bathroom, and sleeping areas. The exemption still requires meeting the commissioner’s certification standards. It applies even if many certified units are in the same building or the building has shared common areas. The law takes effect 60 days after passage.
