Neighbors helping neighbors stay home

A community steps up for housing.

An annual community walk — and a year-round effort — to help Treasure Valley families buy, repair, and keep their homes when life makes that hard to do alone.

Saturday, October 10, 2026 · 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM · Ann Morrison Park, Boise

A Community Walk Organized by My Home Connection by REAL Broker LLC, Benefiting Boise Love INC.

Why Stepping Up exists

Home is the foundation everything else is built on.

When a single mother, an aging neighbor, or a family in a hard season faces losing their home — or the repair that would let them stay — a little help at the right moment changes everything. Stepping Up raises funds for housing-related assistance: help buying, repairing, or maintaining a home for Treasure Valley people navigating hardship.

A partnership, not a passthrough

How the help actually reaches a neighbor.

Stepping Up pairs the people who know housing with the organization that knows how to serve — each doing what they do best.

My Home Connection

Rallies the community

Organizes the walk, recruits local sponsors, and brings the housing expertise, vendor network, and agent capacity to make it all happen.

The flagship moment

The annual Stepping Up community walk.

One morning a year, the Treasure Valley laces up and walks together — families, agents, sponsors, and neighbors — to raise the year's housing-assistance fund. Part fundraiser, part block party, all community.
