New Path Community Housing
New Path Community Housing is Idaho’s first permanent supportive housing community for individuals experiencing chronic homelessness. The original 40-unit facility is connected to a six-story, 96-unit addition that expands housing, support services, and community amenities. Together, the integrated campus provides stable housing, on-site services, wellness and fitness spaces, community gathering areas, and opportunities for residents to build the skills and support networks needed to achieve long-term independence. Residents gain vocational training and other life skills, with the goal of gainful employment and avoiding a relapse into homelessness. erstad worked closely with the local service providers (Terry Reilly, CATCH, BCACHA, etc.) to incorporate their needs and ensure the facility would function smoothly. There is a large community room, fitness room, outdoor courtyard, management office, on-site manager’s living quarters, and spaces for on-site service providers.
