Community Spotlight: CATCH 🫱🏻‍🫲🏼

We’re shining the spotlight on another organization doing important work in our community: CATCH.

Believing that housing is the foundation that makes everything else possible, CATCH is actively "creating key-turning moments," helping families and individuals move into housing by removing barriers such as deposits, first month’s rent, and urgent move-in costs, then providing the care and support that help them rebuild stability and thrive.

A few numbers that demonstrate the need for CATCH in our community:
🏠 Roughly 1,500 households are currently waiting for housing support across Southwest Idaho
🧑‍🧑‍🧒 Around 350 of those households are families with children
🫱🏻‍🫲🏼 In 2025, CATCH helped 440 neighbors move into housing, including 105 families and 208 children

From all of us at EGT Solar, thank you, CATCH, for all you do for our community!

🌎 Happy Earth Day, Idaho! 🌱

Did you know that a typical residential solar system eliminates three to four tons of CO2 annually? That’s the equivalent of planting over 100 trees, or taking a car off the road for 10,000 miles. Over the course of 25 years, just one system offsets a massive amount of carbon dioxide.

Since our company’s inception nearly 20 years ago, EGT Solar has helped drastically reduce emissions by installing solar systems in towns and communities across Idaho. Join us in celebrating these wins!
