What CATCH does

CATCH (Charitable Assistance to Community's Homeless) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (EIN 27-3483457) founded in 2010 in Boise, Idaho, that delivers rapid rehousing and homelessness intervention services across Southwest Idaho. It operates an integrated portfolio of programs anchored in the Housing First approach: Taking Root (rapid rehousing for families with children in Ada County and Region III), Next Step Home (move-in financial assistance for individuals with income to sustain rent), a Housing Crisis Hotline staffed for Ada County and Region III, a Landlord Partnership Program managed by a dedicated Landlord Relationship Manager, and a field outreach team that conducts street-level assessments.

The business model is multi-revenue-stream: individual donations (one-time plus the Keyturners recurring monthly program, 100+ members, starting at $20/month), planned giving (wills, IRA QCDs, stock, crypto via The Giving Block), government grants (City of Boise, City of Nampa, City of Caldwell, SAMSHA, HUD), and corporate and foundation partnerships (Boise Cascade, St. Luke's Health System, Idaho Central Credit Union, Brighton Homes, Optum, United Way of Treasure Valley, Lightfoot Foundation, Laura Moore Cunningham Foundation). In Year 4 of the Our Path Home Campaign to End Family Homelessness, CATCH received $785,212 of a $1,085,108 collaborative distribution. Donor processing runs on Qgiv and The Giving Block; forms and back-office on Google Workspace. No proprietary technology platform is operated.

CATCH is governed by a 12+ member Board of Directors drawn from local business, faith, healthcare, and academic institutions, with day-to-day operations led by the Executive Director. The organization employs 20-30 staff and has housed 1,200+ households since 2010, including a record 486 people (223 children, 114 families) in 2024 and 440 people (208 children) in 2025, at an average program cost of $14,000 per household housed. Current unmet demand exceeds supply, with 1,500+ households on the housing waitlist against an estimated 1,800 households experiencing homelessness in the Treasure Valley.
