Community Crossroads
A comprehensive community agency serving families and individuals with disabilities or chronic health conditions from birth to elder years through conflict free case management. Community Crossroads is one of ten non- profit corporations designated as “area agencies” by the state of New Hampshire. In this role, we are responsible for supporting individuals with developmental disabilities and their families from birth to elder years as well as adults with acquired brain disorders. Originally established in 1979 as Region 10 Client Management, the agency has grown over the past thirty eight years to serve over 1,200 individuals and families in eleven towns in southern New Hampshire. We have become an integral part of our local communities through fundraising activities, civic involvement, and partnership with local businesses. Beginning in 2012 we expanded our services and our mission to support anyone in need of long term care. This includes elders and other adults with chronic health conditions under the Choices for Independence program. We also offer Representative Payee services to those who need extra help managing their finances. This includes not only individuals with disabilities but also veterans; people who are homeless; and others receiving Social Security benefits. Both of these services are available to people living anywhere in New Hampshire. In 2017, we were awarded a contract from the NH Department of Health and Human Services to serve children with chronic health conditions and their families under the Partners in Health program. Community Crossroads also offers access to our Oral Health Program for anyone served by the agency.
