## Resource

Idaho’s housing crisis is hitting hard—prices up 40% in a decade while wages lag, leaving young adults stuck with sky-high rents and starter homes priced around half a million. A new solution? Smaller homes on smaller lots, already gaining traction in city workshops. Inspired by older neighborhoods, this middle-ground model could offer more affordable options. While it doesn’t guarantee lower prices, new state laws now force cities over 10,000 residents to allow tiny lots and accessory units. The Gem State Housing Alliance is also helping communities rethink zoning rules to unlock more diverse, affordable housing.
