It was December when Boise announced it was one of just six cities to receive a federal cash award for its housing program, working to build 250 homes for people working their way out of homelessness.

The $6.6 million comes from the U.S. Treasury and is a "Pay for Results Program," which means the money must go to projects that show a measurable result within their communities.

Boise Mayor Lauren McLean joined Idaho Matters to talk more about the award and where the money will go.
