New Hampshire Address Confidentiality Program (ACP)

1 (800) 300-4500

Persons attempting to escape from domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking situations frequently establish new addresses in order to prevent their assailants from finding them. The ACP will allow victims who move to a new location the opportunity to keep that address confidential. The purpose of the New Hampshire Address Confidentiality Program (ACP) is to enable state and local agencies to respond to requests for public records without disclosing the location of a victim of domestic violence, stalking, or sexual assault. The ACP also enables interagency cooperation with the Attorney General in providing address confidentiality for domestic violence, stalking, and sexual assault victims. Lastly, the ACP enables state and local agencies to accept program participants use of an address designated by the Attorney General as a substitute address.

NH Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS)

DHHS is an agency that helps people. They do this in partnership with families, community groups, private providers, other government agencies and many thousands of foster parents, neighbors, and citizens who made New Hampshire a special place to be. Programs and services are housed in a single department because the majority of the people who use their programs and services have multiple needs and require assistance from more than one program. The NH Legislature and the Governor created a central umbrella agency in 1995 to make these programs and services easier for citizens to find and use, and to reduce administration costs.
