New Affordable "Middle Housing" Opens in Boise

The Shortstack Mississippi project opened last week, providing 36 new units of mixed-income housing to the Boise Eliot neighborhood. The innovative construction uses cross-laminated timber, a greener alternative to concrete. About a third of the dollars used to build this project went to disadvantaged, minority, women, emerging or service-disabled veteran-owned firms. Prosper Portland helped provide funding for this project.
