Boise (KIVI) — U.S. Senator Mike Crapo, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Ben Carson and local Boise leaders will host multiple housing events on August 12. The leaders will be discussing affordable housing challenges and innovative solutions.

Places Crapo and Carson will be visiting includes indieDwell and the 12th River Street Senior Apartments.

Caldwell Mayor Garret Nancolas, President and Executive Director of the Idaho Housing and Finance Association and the founder and CEO of indieDwell, Scott Flynn, will be joining Crapo and Carson at indieDwell. They will be taking a tour of the factory.
