The Denton Apartments include 191 units reserved for those making less than 80% of the median income for the Treasure Valley. For one person, that equates to $59,950/year.
19 of the units are also being set aside for families "exiting homelessness" via the public-private partnership program, Our Path Home.
Denton Apartments residents began moving in just before Thanksgiving.
In total, the City of Boise, the Pacific Companies, Hawkins Companies, and the Idaho Housing and Finance Association invested $6.7 million for the project.
Since 2020, the City of Boise has added almost 500 affordable housing units, and there are roughly 300 more under construction.
