Idaho's unhoused face rising temperatures

Earlier this week, Idaho's public camping ban went into effect, possibly leaving the state's unhoused with fewer ways to escape the heat.

This issue is one that has been top of mind for many nonprofits in the area, but for CATCH it's an urgent matter, especially as temperatures continue to rise.

Connor O’Hora, the street outreach team lead for CATCH, joined Idaho Matters to talk more about the issue.
