Mercy Housing Northwest - Idaho 

Idaho was one of the first states where Mercy Housing first owned and managed properties after the organization was founded in 1981.

Mercy Housing Northwest - Idaho is a leader in providing affordable multifamily housing across the state of Idaho. Through our ownership of 10 multi-family properties throughout Idaho, we provide quality affordable housing for more than 900 people including families, seniors and persons with developmental disabilities. We have family units in Nampa, Mountain Home, Moscow and Twin Falls. We’ve developed two senior properties in Eagle and most recently, housing for developmentally disabled individuals in Moscow. 

We offer rental and homeownership opportunities in Idaho, where the average annual income of our residents is $12,659.

Real Estate Activities

Mercy Housing Northwest – Idaho is currently in the pre-development stages for a new senior affordable housing development in Boise. The new structure, beginning construction in the spring of 2011, will have fifty-three (53) units, a large community room with a full kitchen housed in a three story building close to city amenities. An architect’s rendering of the new development is shown at the left.

Mercy Housing Northwest – Idaho is continuing their mission of affordable housing with their Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP). We are currently purchasing single family homes that were foreclosed and through some rehabilitation of each home are re-selling the homes to first time homebuyers. To date we have completed the rehabilitation and resale of nine (9) homes and have under contract three (3) additional homes.
