text:  I am committed to making Boise a safe and welcoming city for everyone. That means keeping our families safe, our neighborhoods safe, and treating everyone with compassion and respect. In Boise, we take care of people. Criminalizing homelessness has never and will never solve the problem associated with homelessness. We must address the root causes with proven strategies like permanent supportive housing that empower our residents to stay housed and thrive in their community.
