North Branch Completes First START House in New Hampshire
North Branch Construction, Inc. of Concord has completed construction of a new 3,200 square foot house in Boscawen for Community Bridges. The single-story six bedroom home is the first Systematic, Therapeutic, Assessment, Resources, and Treatment (START) facility-based respite home in New Hampshire. It will provide active therapeutic supports to individuals who have been determined to require out-of-home evaluation, stabilization, and treatment implementation. The home includes an open-concept common room, kitchen and dining area, as well as separate meeting rooms. Residents are expected to move in the beginning of July. Community Bridges is a Concord-based non-profit agency serving disabled individuals in need and their families in local communities. Susan Phillips-Hungerford, AIA of Peterborough provided design for the project.
