More Than 200 Homeless in Boise are on the Wait List for Housing
A roundtable is coming up tomorrow to talk about rising homelessness in Boise, and it comes at a time when Boise has more people than ever in need of housing.
Boise s homeless population is growing. In 2019, there were 166 people on the waiting list for housing, and KTVB said that there are now more than 250 on that same list.
Our Path Home is a team of more than thirty agencies working toward ending homelessness in Ada County, and the program s director, Andrea Roope, told KTVB that most of those names have been on the list for more than two years. They re looking for partners to build homes so the folks on the list can be rehoused, and Boise s Ending Family Homelessness project would work to place families into neighborhoods and keep them strong, safe, and stable.
