Four Idaho organizations will get over $11 million in federal grants to help veterans facing homelessness access housing, health care, legal aid, and childcare in 2026—officials say the funds will fill service gaps.
El-Ada Incorporation, Blue Mountain Action Council, Goodwill Industries, and the Homeless Veterans Fellowship will use the grants to support veterans and reduce delays in benefits—local VA leaders call the awards a meaningful boost.
The Nampa Chamber of Commerce will host a pre-election forum Monday night—where several municipal candidates explain their visions for the city.
Local residents can ask questions and compare candidate plans during the event.

Boise State will host Appalachian State tomorrow at 5:30 p.m. at Albertsons Stadium—coming off a win over Air Force, the Broncos plan to face a rival known for a strong passing attack as key players like Dylan Riley and quarterback Maddux Madsen aim to lead the effort.
The game marks the second meeting of the season and will test Boise State's ability to manage App State’s high aerial output.
