Housing the gap since 1942
The affordable housing gap is a socio-economic phenomenon characterized by the scarcity of affordable housing relative to the demand for it. This disproportionately affects people with lower incomes. We are here to help.
A Boise Nonprofit
Good Samaritan Home was among the first to provide a solution to homelessness in Boise. Our founder recognized that the only way to solve homelessness was to provide permanent housing and meals to individuals in need.
That mission is as important as ever. We are still in the same location on State Street, achieving the same goal of alleviating homelessness. We are committed to our city and to the lives of those who call Boise home.
