Interfaith Sanctuary has submitted an application for a conditional use permit, CUP21-00026, to the City of Boise’s planning department to open a low-barrier emergency homeless shelter at 4306 West State Street, the property formerly housing a Salvation Army thrift store, warehouse, and weekend food pantry. The proposed shelter will include 205 beds, plus space for cribs and toddler beds, and at least 20 floor mats to accommodate additional overflow sleeping (though they have said no one will be turned away). The proposed shelter will also offer daytime services such as programming and job training as well as overnight accommodations. The shelter will include space for families, single men, single women, and medically fragile guests.
As part of our comments to the City at the November 15 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, we would like to present a broad survey of our neighborhood residents’ and neighborhood business owners’ opinions to demonstrate the level of engagement on this issue. Each adult member of a household may complete the survey individually. Thank you for your help taking this survey!
