Like many other American cities, Boise has an affordable housing crisis. Democratic socialists believe everyone deserves affordable housing near where they work. We support public housing and community land trusts, but we know we will only win affordable housing by organizing as tenants and as single home families. In the meantime, Section 8 housing puts a small, but important dent in the problem. In Boise a waitlist exists for more than 2000 units available at discounted rates for low-income families, the elderly and/or people with a disabling condition. The waitlist has been closed since June 2024 because it is so long. Section 8 housing is still precarious. Last August Boise City/Ada County Housing Authority (BC/ACHA), which exists to provide affordable housing, terminated its contract with the property owner Parklane Property Management concerning their historic Idanha building. The terminated contract resulted in the displacement of 13 tenants using Section 8 housing vouchers. According to the reporting of BoiseDev, Idaho Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses (DOPL) identified the issues with the elevator upon performing their regular 5 year inspection in March 2025. The inspector found the following violations with the elevator: it was slow, the emergency phone was broken, and there was no evidence that maintenance had been occurring since the prior inspection. BC/ACHA Executive Director Deanna Watson visited the Idanha a week later to find the elevator still in operation with no signage. BC/ACHA gave Parklane Property Management until mid-May 2025 to pass inspection before withholding Section 8 payments. BC/ACHA withheld payments to Parklane Property Management while the elevator was out of compliance. Residents with mobility disabilities were unable to access or leave their apartments, so BCACHA gave residents the option to leave with financial assistance. While Parklane Property Management was working with DOPL on the elevator, their wheelchair lift’s paperwork expired and failed inspection. August 1 BC/ACHA ended the contract. By August 19 both the elevator and wheelchair lifts were fully operational and certified, far too late for the tenants whose lives were greatly impacted. The wealthy are divided concerning the affordable housing crisis. Some want private property owners to profit off of government programs like the Section 8 Housing Voucher program. Others want to get rid of all government programs that help make Boise affordable for ordinary people. In both scenarios the property owners make a profit. The free market is out of control. Downtown luxury condos are sitting empty as second (or third) homes and Airbnb’s, while most of us cannot afford to live close to where we work. Socialists are fighting for affordable housing independent from the broken free market. We will only win if we organize.

Whether they attended as allies standing against injustice or as people personally affected by the discriminatory laws, the protesters had a simple demand: do what's best for our fellow community members. All were welcome to stand against hate. There were resources available for those affected by recent legislation as well as outreach to and from the LGBTQ+ community. The atmosphere was undeniably one of kindness, caring, and passion. Even with persistent rain falling during the gathering, the protestors were dedicated to speaking up. Speakers at the event were passionate and the drag performances were on point. The crowd appeared to be inspired as they witnessed each other standing up for the trans community, not letting those in power vilify them for being who they are and being brave enough to speak up. https://www.boisedsa.org/articles/norway-rats-in-the-treasure-valley monthly 0.5 2026-04-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb716b4946b3e160a33778a/30154dc5-0088-4b76-9d32-8812ce6b9f7a/Rat1.png Articles - Norway Rats in the Treasure Valley - by Elton LK Large Norway rats have recently migrated to Eagle and Boise since 2020. They can carry diseases transferable to humans. The City of Boise website recommends sealing entry points in your homes, and eliminating food sources such as bird and squirrel feed and fallen fruit from trees. SB1271, the “Rodents of Unusual Size” bill, failed due in part to some Idaho lawmakers’ concern that government intervention undermines the free market. They believe only the free market should solve this problem. But it is a fantasy to believe the free market even can remove invasive species, let alone should. Democratic socialists recognize that there are many things the free market cannot solve. Individual home and business owners hiring private pest control companies on an ad hoc basis cannot and will not contain this infestation. The problem must be addressed on a large, regional scale to get it under control. A new bill, HB0781, gives local government some of the power it needs to address this threat, though not the funding. The bill would give county commissioners authority to exterminate pests “on any public or private lands,” including the infamous Norway rats called out by name, but also a variety of other threats to property, livestock or crops, such as gophers, crickets, or plant disease-causing organisms. https://www.boisedsa.org/calendar daily 0.75 2026-03-11 https://www.boisedsa.org/home daily 1.0 2026-02-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb716b4946b3e160a33778a/5ee2b2eb-6dda-4920-80ab-fe31eb5dbcd4/image-001.jpg Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.boisedsa.org/contact daily 0.75 2026-03-11 https://www.boisedsa.org/about daily 0.75 2026-03-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb716b4946b3e160a33778a/c2cf75bb-55e7-412a-9bb4-7832aec2d662/expect-001.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb716b4946b3e160a33778a/ba1d410b-3cce-47b3-a0f2-6087cbdb756f/expect-003.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb716b4946b3e160a33778a/138e589a-3ce4-4326-af53-ad8af1ec6135/expect-005.jpg https://www.boisedsa.org/committees-and-working-groups daily 0.75 2026-03-11 https://www.boisedsa.org/our-structure daily 0.75 2026-03-11 https://www.boisedsa.org/chapter-rules daily 0.75 2026-03-11 https://www.boisedsa.org/how-we-make-decisions daily 0.75 2026-03-11 https://www.boisedsa.org/resources-and-links daily 0.75 2026-03-11 https://www.boisedsa.org/our-bylaws daily 0.75 2026-03-11 https://www.boisedsa.org/join-us daily 0.75 2026-03-11 https://www.boisedsa.org/support-us daily 0.75 2026-03-11 https://www.boisedsa.org/one-time-donation daily 0.75 2026-03-11
