Yes there are a few here in Nashua NH.
Nashua Soup Kitchen and Shelter and others without websites.
They are always full, I see the overflow sleeping behind churches and on city benches. There is a tent city in Mine Falls Park called Maple Road it is ther illegally and my city is trying to get the people there out. Nashua Telegraph Article
Maple Road is right where number 7 is on this map.

Thats a shame because these are the truly needy they are addicted to alcohol or drugs and cannot be placed ia a shelter because of this. The severely mentally handicapped are there too struggling to even find a place to go where someone understands their issues. One man recently was assaulted there, I know this man, his name is Mark and he still asks for change downtown.. all beaten and bruised

Tent cites are often dangerous and the residents unpredictable.

The problem seems unsolvable. I see new homeless in the downtown area almost everyday, this is very difficult to see for more than one reason, one that I can recognize may homeless people as "regulars" and that this number of "regulars" is growing everyday.
There is hope as our community has been taking measures to somehow assist these people. Funding for Maple Arms Shelter

thank you. it does seem unsolvable. all we can do is moderate it. some people seem to want to live on the streets, or don't know how to get out, or can't.

Yes, we have it. They supply food and clothes there. Some of the food and clothes are donated by other people.
