Supportive homes gain a licensing exemption
The law exempts qualifying supportive housing for people with developmental disabilities from residential-care and health-facility licensing or registration. Each unit must provide continuing care for no more than 3 people within a certified facility. Each must be a single leasable home with independent living facilities, including permanent appliances and fixtures for living, sleeping, eating, cooking, and sanitation. The exemption applies regardless of how many units share a building or whether the building has shared areas. Units must still meet New Hampshire health department certification standards under RSA 126-A:19 and RSA 126-A:20. The law takes effect 60 days after passage and provides no direct household payment.
