Last year, the non-profit group Jesse Tree helped 668 families at risk of losing their homes and that's more than double the number they were able to help in 2020. They have a 95% success rate when it comes to keeping the folks they help in housing. Ali Rabe is here to talk more about the dramatic growth of the organization.

As Senior Producer of our live daily talk show Idaho Matters, I’m able to indulge my love of storytelling and share all kinds of information (I was probably a Town Crier in a past life!). My career has allowed me to learn something new everyday and to share that knowledge with all my friends on the radio.
