"For 25 years, Hannah House has been taking in parenting and pregnant teens who had no other place to turn.Now financial woes of almost a decade have driven the shelter into closure. Last month, the nonprofit's board announced that it will be shutting its doors for good on Dec. 31.\"I love my coworkers, I love the mission of this place, and I'm really sad to see it go,\" said employee Donna Brooks.According to organization, a decrease in referrals and lack of proper government funding had forced the house to fundraise to make ends meet.\"It got to the point where our daily rate covered about 70 percent of the costs that we had for each girl living here,\" said Randy Walker, executive director of Hannah House. \"We've had to subsidize our residential program for the last eight years to make up for the difference of what they're paying us and what our true costs are.\"From pregnancy to parenthood, residents are coached on how to take care of their child and how they can prepare themselves for the next phase of life. The organization also organizes community outreach and offers lower cost day care to help the Upper Valley community.It's because of the multiple levels of care they offer that Hannah House staff members are concerned about where girls in the area will turn to without them.\"I just don't know what these girls are going to do instead,\" said Brooks. \"So my hope is that everyone figures out  was the wrong thing to do and they open it back up again.\"The Hannah House board has selected a new executive director and hope to carry on with community outreach without the residential space."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
