Portsmouth is getting a $12.88 million slice of the $1.9 trillion American Relief Plan funds passed by Congress.
Dover and Rochester, both with much larger populations than Portsmouth, are getting significantly less. Dover is set to receive $7.5 million and Rochester $6.1 million.
The entire package of money coming to New Hampshire includes about $1.4 billion, announced this week by Sens. Jeanne Shaheen and Maggie Hassan and Reps. Chris Pappas and Annie Kuster. The resources are in addition to the $1.25 billion that the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES) Act provided New Hampshire to compensate for COVID-19 emergency response efforts.
Why is Portsmouth getting more money than Dover and Rochester?

GOP starts to pay a price for opposing, then promoting, relief bill
Republicans keep touting the Democratic relief bill that received literally zero GOP votes. This is more than just a passing curiosity.

President Joe Biden signed the Democrats COVID relief package on March 11, but it was on March 10 when Sen. Roger Wicker (R-Miss.) celebrated the American Rescue Plan s beneficial targeted relief for restaurants. The Mississippi Republican neglected to mention the fact that he voted against the bill that provided the relief.
He soon had plenty of company. Reps. Madison Cawthorn (R-N.C.) and Alex Mooney (R-W.Va.) took similar steps in March, touting funds for community health centers in their respective districts, overlooking the inconvenient detail that those health centers wouldn t have received the money if they d had their way.

Anton Krucky, Executive Director of the Mayor s Office of Housing, is hailing the final approval for Halewaiolu, a 156-unit affordable and assisted living project for seniors on River Street near Vineyard in Chinatown. But there s much more to be done. We have five projects in the queue right now but we have to find more projects and we have to find more ways to motivate developers, Krucky said.
Numbers differ on just how many affordable units will be needed on O‘ahu.
A DBEDT study released January 2020 estimated overall housing demand on O ahu could require between 10,000 and 22,000 housing units by 2030. Krucky said the city is looking at a shortage of 8,000 units in that time.
