    Affordable housing is hard to come by these days so residents of a mobile home park in our region were understandably worried when the property that their homes were on went up for sale.

    The Treasure Valley is no stranger to this situation, where a long-established mobile home park is sold to a developer and the residents have to move out, and often face much higher housing costs somewhere else.

    That's the scenario facing residents of a mobile home park on the Boise Bench. The city wants to buy up the property for an immediate affordable housing project. A city council member says it would keep dozens of people in their homes.

    Senior Reporter for Boisedev.com Margaret Carmel joins Idaho Matters to talk more about this story and other efforts the city is looking at to provide affordable housing.

    If you’ve ever wanted to write the next great novel or just get that story you wrote published, support from other writers and from your hometown can be critical.

    The Idaho Writers Guild provides that support for authors at all stages in their careers. They help writers network, learn new skills and find the connections they need to thrive, and they have a new event coming up that pairs authors with beer.

    Local author Troy Lambert is on the Idaho Writers Guild board and joins Idaho Matters to talk more about the Guild's upcoming conference and Boise Books and Brew's first-ever event.

    Boise State lab compiles the number of children missing worldwide May 09, 2022
    Show notes

    Here's a question for you, how many children go missing around the globe each year?

    If you don’t know the answer, you’re not alone. It turns out no one does and no one has been looking for an answer, until now.

    A small research lab at Boise State University has been working for the past year to find that number and build a statistical model that the International Centre for Missing and Exploited Children can use to update it each year.

    Carl Siebert, the head of Boise State’s Program Evaluation and Research Lab, and research associate Harrisen Hagens join Idaho Matters to talk more about the research they are doing.

    According to the non-profit group Jesse Tree, at least half of the people who rent live paycheck-to-paycheck and move from home to home.

    All that movement means kids get shipped from school to school, disrupting their education.

    Now the United Way of Treasure Valley and Jesse Tree are getting together for a program to help families at risk of eviction in Canyon County. The goal is to keep families housed while keeping kids in one school where they can build stability.

    Ali Rabe, the Executive Director of Jesse Tree and Nora Carpenter, President and CEO of United Way of Treasure Valley, join Idaho Matters to talk more about the program.

    A landmark church in Boise’s North End is getting a second chance at life.

    The Immanuel Methodist Episcopal Church was built in 1907. After the 1970’s though the church was sold and fell into disrepair, eventually ending up on Idaho's “Top 10 most endangered” historic sites list.

    Here's where the building's Cinderella story begins. After years of neglect the Treasure Valley Institute for Children's Arts bought the property and began renovating it, all with the intention of turning it into a children's art school.

    Idaho Matters sits down with TRICA CEO Jon Swarthout and Kay Hummel, the great-granddaughter of the church's original chief architect, to talk more about the renovation.

    On Monday, a draft opinion on abortion by the U.S. Supreme Court was leaked by Politico. The leak pointed to the court overturning Roe v. Wade, which would put an end to constitutional protections for abortion and give control back to individual states.

    An article was published in the Washington Post on Wednesday looking at Idaho’s history with abortion laws and how history might inform the future.

    The authors of that article, historian and columnist Marc Johnson, as well as political scientist at the University of Montana, Robert Saldin join Idaho Matters to talk more about the past and what we might expect to see in the future.

    Idaho’s primaries are less than two weeks away. On the GOP side, eight candidates are running for governor.

    Governor Brad Little is being challenged by his own lieutenant governor, something that hasn’t happened since 1938 in a race that is described as eerily similar to the 1966 Republican Primary.

    The Boise Bureau Chief at the Idaho Press Betsy Russell and historian Marc Johnson both wrote recent articles about the race and its historical connections. Today they both join Idaho Matters to give us a history lesson and talk more about the upcoming pprimary election.

    The Washington Post is reporting that more vaccinated people, often the elderly or immunocompromised, are dying of COVID-19.

    Throughout the pandemic, the majority of deaths in the U.S. came from people who did not get vaccinated. However, the Post says that 42 percent of people who died of COVID in January and February were vaccinated.

    We wanted to ask Dr. David Pate, former CEO of St Luke's Health System and a current member of the Idaho Coronavirus Task Force, why this was happening and talk more about other COVID-19 news.
