What is Concord Human Services?
Concord Human Services is the local welfare office for the City of Concord. Every town and city in New Hampshire has someone appointed or elected to administer local welfare. The funding for local welfare is from the property taxes in that particular town or city. Local welfare offices do not receive funding from the state or federal government.
