Episode 6: Interfaith Sanctuary’s director discusses the future of Boise hotel housing homeless

Updated: Watch the recording of our discussion with Interfaith Sanctuary’s Executive Director Jodi Peterson-Stigers on a program to help medically fragile Boise residents who are experiencing homelessness.

Original story:

Boise Mayor Lauren McLean evoked the image of Boise becoming another Portland after the Ada County commissioners decided to end funding to house people in a downtown hotel. That’s the current hot button at the center of Boise’s growing crisis of people experiencing homelessness.

Idaho Statesman opinion editor Scott McIntosh and opinion writer Bryan Clark will talk with Interfaith Sanctuary executive director Jodi Peterson-Stigers at noon Wednesday about that decision and other problems facing people experiencing homelessness in the Treasure Valley.
