Project on Federal Funds in New Hampshire

We researched the flow of federal funds into New Hampshire. As part of the project we compiled a complete database of over 900 federal programs and the spending levels associated with each from 1983 through 1999. This project was discontinued after publication of the report in March 2001.

Federal Funds in New Hampshire - an Excel spreadsheet containing our entire database of federal spending in New Hampshire, 1983-1999.

Federal Funds in New Hampshire: What We Get, What We Don’t Get, and Why: 1995 - April 1997 - This report was the first in the series designed to monitor changes in federal funds available to New Hampshire and to identify policy issues related to those funds. This report identified for the first time those specific federal programs which result in New Hampshire's status as one of the states with the least federal spending per capita.

A Hypothetical Case of Devolution and Welfare Reform: How Well Could Our Communities Respond? - May 1997 - Taking a hypothetical scenario where welfare for New Hampshire families with children, food, students and Medicaid were cut by 20% as a result of welfare reform initiatives, the Center examined how New Hampshire’s communities could respond. The report showed the great disparity among our communities in this regard.
