USDA Feasibility Study for Workforce and Multifamily Housing in Idaho

    NAICS 531110

    Workforce and multifamily housing projects in Idaho face acute shortages in resort counties, where short-term rentals that cities cannot ban erode long-term housing. An independent USDA feasibility study consultant models employer-anchored demand, rents and absorption; the independent USDA feasibility study company states the B&I commercial-primary-purpose analysis up front.

    Program Fit

    B&I where the project qualifies as a business use; USDA housing programs use their own limits and are a separate track.

    What the Study Covers

    Framed to the scope required by 7 CFR Part 5001 Appendix A for OneRD guaranteed loan submissions.

    • Market demand and competitive supply analysis
    • Technical and site feasibility, including environmental considerations
    • Five to ten year financial projections with DSCR, DCF, and sensitivity analysis
    • Management and operational capacity assessment
    • Economic feasibility and rural community impact

    Idaho Market Evidence

    Idaho state law bars local short-term rental bans, so resort-county housing studies must model STR competition directly; employer-anchored demand letters carry the market section. Eight Idaho cities exceeded 50,000 in the 2020 Census, and the excluded urban fringes around Boise, Idaho Falls, Pocatello, Coeur d'Alene and Twin Falls make eligibility parcel-specific at every metro edge; every Idaho study includes a dated, address-level USDA map determination.
