5 Reasons to Work at the Y
Housing
We know housing in the Wood River Valley is hard to find. That’s why we are partnering with The Wood River Housing Trust, an independent non-profit, to increase access. We don’t control housing, but we may be able to help you access low cost, very nice, housing if you qualify. If you’re interested in subsidized housing, please inquire when applying.
