In our first episode, CATCH Executive Director Stephanie Day and Our Path Home CONNECT Program Director Sara Busick discuss their work, barriers to housing, and ways the community can help respond to homelessness in the Treasure Valley.

Who experiences homelessness in our community and how do we rehouse people in the middle of a statewide affordable housing crisis?

Hosted by Interfaith Sanctuary Executive Director Jodi Peterson-Stigers and Erin Sheridan, editor of the Word on the Street newspaper.

Music by Geoffrey McCauley and Adam Monus.

Word on the Street Podcast Episode #1 - Access To Housing

In this episode, we take a look at the history of Interfaith Sanctuary. Leaders of faith and conscience founded the shelter in 2005 after over 200 people were evicted from Community House, a homeless shelter formerly located on 13th and Jefferson in Boise's downtown.

Here to tell that story are four of Interfaith's founders: attorney Howard Belodoff, Interfaith Alliance of Idaho President Judy Cross, Interfaith Alliance Member Diane Tipton, and retired Pastor Ed Keener.
