Seacoast
Pop-Up Care Villages
Meeting Needs, Building Stability
Our Seacoast Pop-Up Care Villages (PUCV) meet the immediate needs of unhoused and housing-insecure individuals while opening pathways to long-term stability. Inspired by the farmers market model, these mobile service hubs rotate quarterly across Rockingham, Strafford, and Southern York Counties, expanding access to essential resources. Each Village brings together basic needs, healthcare, housing navigation, and other critical services in one welcoming, low-barrier location.
By meeting people where they are, PUCVs foster trust, reduce access barriers, and strengthen the safety net, while gathering data to inform system-level solutions. Reaching those often overlooked by traditional service models, these events serve as vital entry points that connect individuals to stability and support.
Just as importantly, they create collective impact by bringing partner agencies together in one shared space, strengthening cross-sector relationships, building new collaborations, and fostering a culture of coordinated care that amplifies outcomes for both individuals and the wider community.
