Mayor Ruais: Manchester Achieves Unprecedented Improvements
in Preventing Overdoses and Saving Lives
MANCHESTER, NH – Mayor Jay Ruais announced today that Manchester continues to be on track to measurably reduce overdoses and fatalities at a faster rate than local and national trends. Recent American Medical Response (AMR) and Manchester Police Department data is projecting a 49% overall decrease in suspected overdoses over last year and a 51% decrease in suspected overdose fatalities.
“If these results continue, Manchester is on pace to realize the lowest numbers in suspected overdoses and deaths since the beginning of the opioid epidemic more than ten years ago,” said Ruais. “This is an incredible accomplishment. We’re saving lives, and getting people in need help. I want to thank our Public Health Director Anna Thomas, our community partners and the state of New Hampshire for all our collaborative efforts.”
Director Thomas added, “All life is precious and every one saved is worth fighting for. I am grateful for the CDC’s expertise in putting the City on the right path toward this end. I also applaud the work of our many providers, our Director of Overdose Prevention, Andrew Warner, our Rapid Overdose Assessment and Response Team, the Manchester Police Department and American Medical Response for their tireless commitment and dedication to achieving such positive outcomes on a daily basis.”

Update on City’s Homeless Veterans: 40 Housed under Mayor’s Initiative
MANCHESTER, NH – Six months after launching an initiative to effectively end Veterans’ homelessness in Manchester by the end of his term in January of 2026, Mayor Jay Ruais announced today that 40 veterans have been housed.
“The level of success we’ve reached in finding sustainable housing for our homeless Veterans since our initiative kicked off last September has exceeded my highest hopes,” said Mayor Ruais. “This milestone has been reached with the support of dedicated partners including HarborCare, and the VA, as well as city landlords. We simply could not have gotten this far without them. We owe our Veterans everything and our progress to date means we’ve found a formula that works, but we know there’s still work to be done.”
Ruais noted that many homeless Veterans face barriers impeding their ability to gain housing. “This is where our new Sustainability Fund, managed by HarborCare, comes in to help. Just recently, we were able to cover the cost of a Veteran getting a copy of his birth certificate out of Boston. This enabled him to be placed on a housing list. It’s really gratifying when we can come in with a fix that completely changes the dynamic of a Veteran’s situation.”
Background:
The federal government’s definition of when a city effectively ends Veterans’ homelessness (also known as functional zero) means a community must have fewer Veterans experiencing homelessness than it can routinely house in permanent housing in a single month. This measures whether communities have built systems that can achieve and sustain “functional zero”, even if new Veterans’ experience housing crises over time.
Note:
Landlords and non-profits groups interested in joining the mayor’s initiative to help house homeless Veterans and anyone looking to support the Sustainability Fund can email mayor@manchesternh.gov
