HOUSING
INTRODUCTION
It is a recognized fact that adequate shelter is a basic human necessity. With the growth
of the meuopolitan area around Boise, there is a tremendous potenrial for residential
development and growth in and around rhe City of Caldwell.
Local agencies such as the Chamber of Commerce report increasing enquiries about
housing availability in the City. Canyon County on Aging also reports a pattern of
movement to Caldwell with a growing aging population who own their own homes but
desire a full range of Ciry services.
While housing for middle and upper income groups is available through traditional real
estate processes, there needs to be a vehicle for promoting and supporting housing for
persons on limited income, and for handicapped and elderly persons. For the most part,
citizens have expressed a preference that residential neighborhoods be separate from
commercial and industrial areas and yer, at the same time, be located in close proximiry
to such districts in order to take advantage of the services they provide.
GOAL
To provide for a diversity of quality housing types throughout the community and in
locations suitable for residential development that will serve the needs of all citizens and
income groups.
OBJECTTYES
To locate housing so that it is fully integrated with the land use, trzmsportation,
and public facilities components as set forth in the Comprehensive Plan.
To insure the provision of all types of adequate housing, with special attention to
the needs of the elderly and low and moderate income families.
To maintain existing housing tfuough public and private rehabilitation efforts and
promote progrzms to remove unsound, substandard housing.
To limit or prohibit housing in hazardous areas such as flood plains or areas of
unstable soil.
5. To protect the integrity of residential neighborhoods from the intrusion of non-

o o
To provide through zoning and building code and other appropriate ordinances
sat'e housing characterized by enerry saving design.
To promote planned residentia.l developments within the City close to employment
and shopping centers and other sewice areas.
To panicipate in programs to improve the qualiry of low income housing and to
insure sound continuing management, fiaancing and maintenance of such housing
To encourage the preservation and restoration of appropriate historically and
architecturally significant structures.
EOUSING PROFILE
In the City of Caldwell there are several types of housing spread out across the
communiry. The majority of homes are single family dwellings. A large percentage of
these are located to the south and west of the City's commercial center and in the
Canyon Hill are4 northeast of the freeway. New subdivisions of singie family dwellings
are being developed in the south and west. There are some duplexes, for the most part
in the southeastern portion of the City. Multi-family housing is located generally closer
to the commercial core. However, there are distributions of medium and high density
residential projects throughout the community. With projected increases in land values,
the demand tbr medium to high density housing is expected to rise.
Older, large single family homes are located in the historic neighborhoods to the south
and east of the City Center close to A.lbertson College of Idaho, and are generally in
excellent condition and continue to be upgraded. The majority of homes north and west
of the City Center are older small, single family homes with a large number of individual
mobile homes nonh and west of the Interstate closer to the Boise River and flood plain.
There are several mobile home parks scattered throughout the Ciry.
The two agencies providing publicly assisted housing in Caldwell are the Caldwell
Housing Authority and the Southwestern Idaho Cooperative Housing Authority. Both
agencies indicate that there is insufficient housing available to meet the need. Some
building funded by the Department of Housing and Urban Development is under
construction in Ca.ldwell. A strong commitment by the private sector is required to
maintain the existing housing stock so that rental units are adequate, safe and affordable.
The Caldwell Board of Realtors also repons a need for rental housing in the City to
provide for a growing, singe or two-person per housing unit population.
