Town of Deerfield Welfare Office

The basic local welfare duties are described in RSA 165 (link to RSA). The Deerfield Office of Welfare provides information, resources and referrals to families in need of social, emotional, medical or financial support. When no other resources are available to provide assistance, and the family meets the requirements for eligibility for local welfare assistance, financial support may be granted to the family in need. The Office of Welfare provides emergency temporary assistance to families who lack adequate resources to provide for their basic needs (for example, food, heat or shelter).
