Housing and Home in a Growing Boise

Given Boise’s recent growth, it’s no surprise that housing is on the minds of many residents. How can our city ensure that housing continues to be affordable and accessible to many types of residents? How might new types of housing change the neighborhoods that we call home? Dr. Krista Paulsen, Associate Professor of Urban Studies in the School of Public Service at Boise State University, considers the relationship between housing and home in Boise and its neighborhoods, how they connect to Boise’s past, and how they fit in Boise’s future.
