Idaho Housing is proud to invest $1 million to help build a new transitional housing development in Hailey. The development will expand housing options for those escaping domestic violence in the Wood River Valley and surrounding area. The project is led by The Advocates, a Hailey-based nonprofit that offers comprehensive services for victims of domestic abuse, sexual violence and stalking in the area. Domestic violence is a major contributor to homelessness in Idaho. Projects like this help provide a safe place for survivors at their most vulnerable time. Idaho Housing will invest almost $3.5 million in homelessness initiatives over the next year.
