Planting roots is good for business.
If we don't step up and support local families, we’re at risk of watching North Idaho hollow out as young families move away, taking their spending power, tax contributions, and the spirit that makes this region so special.
Your employees work hard, yet many may never own a home here. A reality we have the power to change.
When businesses invest in their workforce and community, you become part of something bigger than profits. You create opportunities that mean...
Local families can buy their first home and plant roots in North Idaho
Workforce gains stability, reducing turnover and strengthening retention
Families build wealth that strengthens our economy for generations
And your business builds a reputation as a company that truly cares about people, earning loyalty from employees and customers who see you making a real difference.
"Our two local hospitals and medical clinics have had chronic staff shortages because nurses, physician assistants, therapists and other health care workers cannot afford the rising cost of home ownership in Kootenai County. This is not just a problem for healthcare; all employers are experiencing employment shortages. People who work and serve here in Coeur d'Alene should be able to live in Coeur d' Alene. I am involved and committed to the Young Family's Foundation to contribute to a solution for attainable housing for our young hard-working families."

"I love living here in North Idaho, and I know you do too. Young families are the backbone of our economy ... they're raising kids, coaching Little League, building businesses, and contributing to our tax base for decades to come. But right now, too many of them can't afford to stay. If we want our community to thrive, we need to help them put down roots. I hope you'll join us in making that possible."
