City light home for women and children in Boise, Idaho

At City Light, a Women’s and Children’s Shelter in Boise, we offer a safe haven of hope and love. With this in mind, we provide emergency services such as meals, shelter, and clothing, as well as education, work-search assistance, mental health counseling, addiction recovery through the New Life Program, and children’s programs.

Through the ministry of City Light, Boise Rescue Mission Ministries has been providing help for homeless women and children in Boise, Idaho, since 2000.

Regardless of where women are coming from, whether homeless, escaping a domestic violence situation, addicted, or struggling, all women and their families are welcome to the City Light Home for Women & Children. In summary, here at this mission will never turn anyone away for food or a clean bed due to a lack of space.

Amber, a mother of 5, had been struggling with drug addiction for 13 years before coming to City Light. Once she had lost custody of her children in December of 2021, she knew she had to do something different. 

“It wasn’t until I came to City Light, joined the New Life Program, and found the love of Jesus, that I filled that hole inside me. The way the staff at the Mission has shown me love has made such an important impact on my life. Furthermore, they loved me when I couldn’t love myself and never gave up on me.
