LEAP Housing

There's 10 hours left in #IdahoGives 2024! You can join Drake Cooper in supporting this year's campaign - making homeownership possible for families across Idaho! Give before midnight today and you'll be matched by a private donor. If you give $100, it'll turn into $150! You can donate at this link: https://lnkd.in/gpda2Gii

It's #IdahoGives, powered by Idaho Central Credit Union! Thanks to our friends at the Idaho Nonprofit Center and all the amazing sponsors (seriously, there are so many we can't list them all!), we have an exciting week ahead supporting affordable homeownership for families across Idaho. Join us in making the dream of #homeownership a reality for nearly 50 low-income households with a donation to LEAP during Idaho Gives. Your donation will be matched 2:1, and make LEAP eligible for additional prizes all week long! Donate to support LEAP now! #IdahoNonprofits #AffordableHousing #WhatCanYouGiveIdaho

Do you have a #tinyhome on wheels or know someone who does? LEAP can help you find a homeowner who will host you OR your tiny home in #Boise. Please contact us right away to see if we can match you with a participating host. We are looking for just 5 folks to participate in a 12-18 month pilot, but we need your help finding tiny home owners! Certain criteria apply, but we’ll walk you through the process. Reach out today - info@leaphousing.org or 208-391-2823.

Earlier this week our friends at Rolling Tomato stopped by to provide fresh mushrooms, avocados, strawberries, bread, and more to the elders of the Nampa community who call Golden Glow Tower home. Thank you to Julie D'Agostino and team for sharing good, healthy food with our residents and keeping it out of the landfill! If you’re in the Treasure Valley, you can support the good work Rolling Tomato is doing for our community by heading to Payette Brewing Company LLC in Boise on Monday, March 18 from 6-10pm. 50% of draft beer proceeds will benefit Rolling Tomato and all they do for the Treasure Valley!

📣 ANNOUNCEMENT: Let us know if you would like to host a moveable tiny home on wheels. LEAP is looking for potential host sites for moveable tiny homes. We’re looking for folks who might be willing to temporarily allow a moveable tiny home on their land for 12 - 18 months in the city of Boise. LEAP will offer technical assistance to see if your home is a good fit. Some grant funding is available to help improve your property's ability to accommodate a moveable tiny home. Reach out if you are interested in beginning the process. There are restrictions and specific criteria, but LEAP can walk through that with you. If interested, please send an email to info@leaphousing.org, or give us a call at 208-391-2823. #Boise #TinyHomes

If you’re trying to create affordable housing opportunities for our neighbors in the Treasure Valley, you likely know Erin Sorensen. We’re proud to be working alongside so many people like Erin across Idaho focused on the same thing! Together, we can build home. #LeapDay

Thank you Deborah Flagan and your team at Hayden Homes and Simplicity by Hayden Homes for your support on #LeapDay! We're lucky to have you as partners as we crank away at the 25,000 deficit of affordable housing in Idaho. #ItTakesUsAll

#LeapDay 2024 is in the books, but just because it's March doesn't mean you missed out! The great folks at #KIN have their LEAP Housing-inspired tasting menu running until tomorrow night. There are still seats available for the Supper Club dinner on Saturday, March 2 at 9pm (tomorrow). Take the opportunity to celebrate Leap Day - it's your last chance for the next four years - and reserve your spot now! Your supper club experience supports the work we're doing to increase #affordablehomeownership opportunities for Idaho. Reservations:

We're closing out #LeapDay 2024 with some prizes! Donate $29 or more today and you'll be entered to win a gift card from The Melting Pot Restaurants in Boise. Your donations support creating more affordable homeownership opportunities for households in Idaho - join our work today! Happy LEAP Day, Idaho!

The icing on the #LeapDay cake is a hard-working Idahoan who would otherwise be priced out of the market will become the newest homeowner in the LEAP Housing Trust! Vanessa closed on a purchase of their home at Caritas Commons, the Treasure Valley’s first #communitylandtrust for homeownership. Congratulations to Vanessa and her family! Special thanks to those who helped make this happen: Property People, Silvercreek Realty Group, First American Title, Chad Hansen, Nate Walsh and Diana Telford!
