Project Description

The project is a valuable use of taxpayer dollars because the YMCA is planning the redevelopment of four city blocks located between State St/Jefferson St and 10th St/12th St in Boise. By co-locating and co-producing services, the YMCA, alongside their partners in healthcare, education, and the non-profit and government sectors, will provide comprehensive solutions for community challenges, in one of the nation\u2019s fastest growing cities. This revamped YMCA facility will connect community members to local businesses, hospitals, social, educational, and governmental services, resulting in a thriving economy, connected community, and increased wellbeing for youth, adults, and families. The Downtown Boise YMCA currently serves 17,000 members per year. In order to address increasing demands in the Boise area, they will work to serve 23,000 members, with 1.2 million visits per year. The project\u2019s community-based approach will address a wide range of social determinants of health and community needs, such as housing, healthcare, early childhood education and childcare, workforce development, transportation and accessibility, and financial education.
