Older folks who can’t find a place to live and adults who can’t take care of themselves are living on the street in Boise. And they are at serious risk of harm or even death.

It’s a story that’s very painful to read, but also a story that we need to talk about.

Carmel joins Idaho Matters to talk more about this growing problem.
