  1. Use SSA's official disability route and ServiceLink housing or benefits navigation as separate workstreams.
  2. Map decisions where the adult wants help and each supporter's role and limits.
  3. Review New Hampshire's supported-decision-making requirements and obtain qualified legal advice before signing an agreement or pursuing guardianship.

Expected next
