Adam and Christina faced a housing crisis with children, while Christina was pregnant. Jesse Tree was able to support the parents, the kiddos, and the baby on the way

Jesse Tree has partnered with the Idaho Women’s Charitable Foundation (IWCF) to fund our new Community Health Resource Closet. Jesse Tree opened the closet in May 2024 after being awarded a two-year grant from IWCF. The closet allows Jesse Tree to provide clients with essentials including gas and grocery gift cards, hygiene kits, bus passes, and household kits. This reduces the burden of choosing between having enough food and putting gas in the car, especially when other emergencies arise.

Every year, we collect eviction data from Ada and Canyon counties over the previous year to analyze trends and determine major evictors. Year after year, we see very similar patterns: a small number of non-local property management companies are filing the vast number of evictions in the Treasure Valley.

May is always a busy month with getting Jesse Tree's name out there, kicking off with Idaho Gives. Thanks to 215 members of the Treasure Valley community, we raised $52,270 which will allow us to keep 26 families housed during an eviction.
