Jesse Tree

Thank you to Boise Unitarian Universalist Fellowship for their generous donation to Jesse Tree.

Support from community partners like BUUF helps make our work possible, allowing us to continue providing eviction prevention services, housing stability support, and critical resources to our neighbors throughout the Treasure Valley.

We are incredibly grateful for their partnership and commitment to building a stronger, more stable community for everyone.

Jesse Tree was recently featured in Idaho Business Review alongside community partners working to support tenants navigating housing instability and eviction disputes in the Treasure Valley.

The article highlights the growing challenges renters are facing, including rising housing costs and the speed of Idaho’s eviction process, as well as the importance of prevention-focused services and legal support.

We’re grateful for the opportunity to help bring attention to these issues and the importance of keeping neighbors safely housed.

Small donations can make a big impact.

Jesse Tree’s Community Health Resource Closet helps provide essential items to individuals and families facing financial hardship, health challenges, or barriers to meeting daily needs.

We’re looking for businesses, schools, apartment communities, neighborhood groups, faith communities, and other local organizations interested in hosting donation drives to support this work. Items like hygiene products, diapers, household essentials, pantry goods, and gift cards help reduce stress and support long-term stability for the families we serve.

Interested in organizing a drive? Contact Ysabel Nash at [email protected] to learn more.

Thank you to the MDU Resources Foundation for their generous $8,000 donation to Jesse Tree.

Partnerships like this help strengthen our ability to support neighbors facing housing instability and continue providing critical eviction prevention services throughout our community.

We are deeply grateful for the MDU Resources Foundation’s support and commitment to making a meaningful impact in the communities they serve.

There’s still time to register for Keep Boise Housed at the Idaho State Museum.

This free community event is an opportunity to learn more about Jesse Tree’s mission, the realities of housing instability in our community, and ways to get involved.
Registration is required, and spots are nearly full. Reserve yours soon.

Jesse Tree’s Diaper Drive is underway.

We’re collecting diapers (all sizes), pull-ups, training pants, and wipes to support families in our community. These essential items help reduce financial strain and provide meaningful support during challenging times.

Donations can be dropped off at our office Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. Thank you for helping us support our neighbors.

That’s a wrap on Idaho Gives! $47,946 raised for Jesse Tree alone!

We’re grateful for the opportunity to connect with our community throughout the week, from our Karaoke Kickoff at The Shrine, to Barbarian Gives a Damn, and the ribbon cutting at Caffiena. These moments of connection and support make our work possible.

Thank you to everyone who showed up, contributed, and helped make this week meaningful.

In April, Jesse Tree continued working alongside our community to prevent eviction and support housing stability.

Behind every number is a household navigating a challenging moment, and a community stepping in to help. Thank you to everyone who makes this work possible.
