IDAHO HOUSING INSECURITY RESOURCES

Dated: October 14 2022

Views: 185

As REALTORS®, we see the wide spectrum of housing needs in our communities. While we primarily work with those purchasing or selling real estate, we are often consulted on circumstances where families or individuals are experiencing hardship related to housing. It is our philosophy that the more we can support or strengthen all aspects of our industry, all will rise.

We hope that this guide of public resources will serve as a helpful tool as you encounter those in need. While Silvercreek® does not endorse any one organization, we commend the work of all to create sustainable housing for our communities.
