How Do We Fix Our Affordable Housing Shortage?

We all know a lack of affordable housing is one of the biggest issues facing the Treasure Valley. For folks with low incomes, it’s especially challenging. So what’s Boise doing to solve this problem?  In the first of many conversations about our housing crisis to come, we’re talking with Idaho Statesman reporter Paul Schwedelson, who covers growth and development. Have thoughts on how the City of Boise should fix our housing woes? The city is holding three open houses this month to get feedback on their zoning rewrite, which is super important in how our community responds to this issue. The first open house is Thursday at 5:30-7 p.m. at Library! at Hillcrest. Click here for more info.  Have a question or comment about Boise’s housing crisis?
