Boise
A building with 26 apartments for homeless veterans opened this week.
The building, Valor Pointe, at 4203 W. State St., is part of the city of Boise’s “housing first” approach, which houses homeless people and then provides services to help them.
The building was developed by Northwest Real Estate Capital Corp. and funded primarily with low-income tax credits from the Idaho Housing and Finance Association. Several local-government agencies, nonprofits and businesses contributed.
The building includes two apartments that are fully accessible for people with disabilities and one apartment for a manager. It includes onsite laundry, a fitness room and a computer lab.

A volunteer group that supports the National Guard is asking Idaho employers to pledge support to their employees who serve in the Guard.
Steve Eisele, military outreach director for the Idaho chapter of Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve, said the Guard has more than 5,000 members in Idaho who must do military service monthly and annually while holding down jobs with civilian employers.
“For the employers, this can be a real problem and, at times, it can be costly,” Eisele writes. “But the service members are on orders and have no choice about when, or how much time the military service will require.”
The pledge the group asks employers to take includes, in part: “We will provide our managers and supervisors with the tools they need to effectively manage employees who serve in the Guard and Reserve. ... We will continually recognize and support our country’s service members and their families, in peace, in crises, and in war.”
