Boise Mayor Lauren McLean’s Statement on the Idaho Supreme Court Ruling and Interfaith Sanctuary

February 6, 2025

We remain steadfast in our commitment to prevent encampments like we’ve seen in other cities. A low-barrier shelter, like Interfaith Sanctuary, is key to this as we care for Boiseans and partner to develop housing that’s affordable at Boise budgets.

The decision from the Idaho Supreme Court creates both a challenge and an opportunity. In the weeks ahead, the city will address the procedural issues that arise from the Court’s decision. True to the Boise way, we continue to work hard in partnership to meet the challenges we face. No stone will be left unturned in addressing our city’s need for housing and shelter.
