Funding for New Hampshire’s Choices for Independence program is a top legislative priority for the Alliance in the Legislative Session. It’s important that legislators learn how important CFI is, what needs to be done to keep the program sustainable. To help advocate for CFI, The Alliance is launching an effort to give voice to CFI clients and their caregivers through storytelling. We need your help in gathering stories for 2023! Please send 30-60 second video clip, recorded on your mobile device, for inclusion in our next series.
