Boise's bridge-housing capacity runs through the Continuum of Care led by Our Path Home, with Interfaith Sanctuary, Boise Rescue Mission, and CATCH providing shelter beds and rapid-rehousing pathways.
Boise does not run a city-operated shelter system. Instead, the Boise Continuum of Care, coordinated by Our Path Home under federal HUD HEARTH Act framework, manages shelter capacity through nonprofit partners. Interfaith Sanctuary operates the largest low-barrier shelter and is constructing a new State Street facility. Boise Rescue Mission runs faith-based shelters for men, women, and families. CATCH provides rapid-rehousing case management. The city's Housing and Community Development division contributes federal CDBG and HOME funding plus local match dollars, and zoning amendments under the 2023 Modern Zoning Code added shelter as a permitted use in additional districts to expand capacity.
No tenant penalties apply within the bridge-housing system; non-compliance with shelter rules typically leads to denial of service, not citation.
