Abstract
Nestled gracefully along the tranquil banks of the Boise River lies Horizon Heights Apartments, a sanctuary for refugees seeking temporary housing. Upon their arrival in Boise, refugees have the opportunity to transition seamlessly into these welcoming apartments, offering respite for up to a month as they embark on their journey to find more permanent accommodations. Traditionally, refugees often find themselves housed in hotels upon their initial arrival, a costly arrangement that can quickly deplete their limited resources. However, Horizon Heights offers a practical alternative, providing a comfortable haven at a mere fraction of the expense, equivalent to just one-quarter the price of a single hotel night. This economical choice empowers refugees to manage their finances more effectively, affording them the crucial opportunity to save for future housing deposits or down payments.
Spanning 1,125 square feet, each apartment at Horizon Heights includes three bedrooms, each complemented by its own ensuite bathroom. Additionally, residents enjoy the convenience of a fully-equipped kitchen, a cozy living area, and a designated dining space, fostering a sense of home and stability during their transitional period. Strategically situated along the picturesque Boise River, Horizon Heights offers unparalleled access to the vibrant downtown scene, including an array of parks and the scenic Greenbelt pathway tracing the river's edge. This prime location ensures that residents can fully immerse themselves in all that Boise has to offer, enhancing their sense of belonging and community integration.
