Chronic Homelessness In Idaho

118 Words1 Page

The fundamental cause of chronic homelessness in the state of Idaho is its widening housing affordability gap coupled with its immense population growth. The state is constantly pushing out housing in order to keep up with the large number of incoming citizens. However, due to the high listing prices for the units, 65% of the state’s population are left unable to afford even the smallest form of housing. In effect, leaving its residents without a permeant place to live and thousands of housing units untouched. Which allows Idaho the chance to implement it own version of Utah’s “Housing First Project”. With thousands of housing units already available, all Idaho has to do is ‘gives homes to the homeless’.
