Grow Our Housing is the city's strategic approach to addressing housing needs in Boise.

Over the last several years, Boise has seen tremendous vitality, with low unemployment, increased opportunity and a growing national realization that Boise is truly becoming one of the most livable cities in the country. Boise’s challenge is how to maintain the city’s high livability in the face of dramatic growth brought by this success.

Beginning in February 2018, Mayor and Council conducted a series of strategic planning sessions to better understand the dynamics of housing in Boise to help guide the vision for housing and make the best use of the tools available to the city.

City of Boise Commitment

Everyone deserves a home and we're going to do everything we can to get them one.

Values

These values are based on conversations with community members throughout 2018 about housing in Boise. These will evolve as we engage with residents throughout 2019.
