Nashua aldermen debate makeup of homeless services committee (inklink.news) — Nashua officials are finalizing appointments to a new Homeless Services Gap Analysis Committee that will map where local shelter, mental health, and housing supports are falling short.

The committee's 90-day report will guide how Nashua targets limited resources.
3. Student charged with sexually assaulting woman at Rivier University in New Hampshire (cbsnews.com) — Nashua police have charged a 20-year-old Rivier University student with aggravated felonious sexual assault after a woman reported being raped in a campus dorm bathroom.
