Valor Pointe: Housing for Idaho Veterans

Too often many of our nation’s veterans are returning home from serving their country to find a lack of resources to help them get back on their feet. We invite you to take active role in helping those that have bravely served this country by making a donation to support the ongoing housing and utility needs of Idaho Veterans who are living at Valor Pointe, a permanent supportive home in Boise.

Valor Pointe opened in August 2020 and is located at 4203 West State Street. Valor Pointe includes 27 one-bedroom, one-bathroom units, 26 for veterans and one for a live-in manager. Two of the units are fully accessible to residents with disabilities, and the rest are adaptable, ensuring they can be easily modified to become accessible for occupants with disabilities or mobility challenges. Additional building amenities include an open floor plan with a private balcony/patio, community lounge, classroom, computer lab, onsite laundry, fitness room and a therapeutic garden. Supportive services are provided by the Boise V.A. Medical Center.

Ada County currently administers 187 Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Veterans Administration Supportive Housing (VASH) vouchers for rental assistance for homeless veterans. Locally, it is taking an average of 4-6 months for veterans to secure rental housing given the tight and competitive housing market. HUD-VASH vouchers are dedicated to this permanent supportive housing project providing a lower-barrier or "housing first" model alternative for our veterans in need of services and support to overcome the issues that may have led to their homelessness.
