“The city’s goal is to create and preserve 2,500 affordable housing units in the city in the next five years. Mayor McLean explained why that is the target number.

‘We did a housing assessment recognizing that this is about my kids’ teachers, it’s about the police and firefighters that keep us safe, the nurses that have protected our health,’ McLean said. ‘We need homes for Boiseans, and so we set out to determine how many we needed and at what price points Boiseans could afford. So it’s a data-driven process that’s given us that bold goal for the next five years.’

Construction on MODA Franklin is expected to be finished in October of 2023. It is the city’s first Housing Land Trust development.”
