Resource Pop-ups
The Library works with several organizations to host pop-ups that provide access to community resources and services. Pop-ups allow for organizations to connect with community members inside the Library.
Jesse Tree Pop-up
Jesse Tree offers rental assistance every 4th Thursday from 10 a.m. to noon at the Main Library. Jesse Tree staff are on-hand to help those who are at risk of eviction and homelessness. They provide information about community resources, take applications for rental and security deposit assistance, and provide support for tenants who need help to complete Jesse Tree's online application.
Outreach Resource Pop-up
Our Path Home Outreach provides services to those experiencing homelessness every 1st Wednesday from 10 a.m. to noon at the Main Library. Outreach Specialists are available to assist with housing assessments, referrals to services and resources, brief case management and problem solving, and general Q&A. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Casey McGee at cmcgee@catchidaho.org.
