Ada County transitional low income housing and homeless shelters.
Agencies across Ada County Idaho provide short term housing to individuals and families that are struggling. There are many different programs that could potentially help, and they include extended shelter as well as placement into transitional housing or apartments. The organizations that run this in Boise, most of which are non-profits, will also offer clients ongoing support for short and long term needs, ranging from food to job placement and more.
The centers may focus on veterans or children or the disabled, and the length of stay and other terms and conditions of each agency will vary. Many of the Ada County locations will also have a waiting list in place, so while there are low income housing options available, the demand for assistance is very high.
Other examples of services that may be included include short term motel vouchers, legal support for victims of domestic violence, and help in moving into permanent housing. So the support provided is extensive.
