Boise Mayor Lauren McLean will advance $6.7 million to address affordable housing in Boise, marking the issue as one of her remaining top priorities since she took office in 2020.
In 2021, Mayor McLean created a housing fund to respond to the housing crisis in Boise and the growing need for affordable housing. With the support of the Boise City Council, Boise has been able to advance affordable housing goals and fill funding gaps with projects like Wilson Station, The Franklin, and Denton. As part of these investments, nearly 600 affordable homes have opened to residents since 2020, with 300 more in construction.
