Creating opportunity for younger generations.

WHO WE ARE

Young Family’s Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering hardworking families to attain homeownership. 

We work closely with local banks and mortgage lenders to help bridge the gap for young families that experience "near misses" in qualifying for a home mortgage.

THE PROBLEM WE'RE FACING

The market is inverted, leaving many young, hardworking families unable to afford a home in Idaho. 

In 2016, 75% of Kootenai County households could afford to purchase a median-priced home. 

When surveyed again in 2023, that number had decreased to only 20%.
The market has inverted.

80%

OF KOOTENAI COUNTY CANNOT AFFORD A MEDIAN-PRICED HOME.

Mortgage Assistance

By working with local banks, mortgage brokers, and loan officers, the Foundation offers down payment assistance to first-time homebuyers who, despite their best efforts to save for a down payment, are unable to qualify for a loan.

Values

we are passionate, but not overbearing

We deeply care about our mission to support families and
convey that passion with energy and purpose, but we ensure
our approach remains inviting rather than overwhelming.

we are professional, but not distant

We deliver excellence and inspire trust, while speaking
authentically and empathetically to foster genuine connections
that make everyone we serve feel valued and engaged.

we are caring, but not impractical

We lead with compassion and prioritize the well-being of
families and the community, but we prioritize practical
solutions over pure emotion.

we are resilient, but not inflexible

We bravely confront challenges with courage and perseverance,
balancing boldness with adaptability to create sustainable,
meaningful change.
