Elliott Berry recently retired after nearly fifty years in the same job as a lawyer for New Hampshire Legal Assistance. I hesitate to even identify his job this way because the trail that Elliott Berry has blazed over those years has burnished a reputation and accomplishments across the country.

While Elliott chose New Hampshire as the venue for his life's work as an advocate for low-income families, his service and impact have been broadly hailed for creating innovative solutions to daunting problems, especially around homelessness and affordable housing.
