988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline
Call or text 988 for emotional distress, a mental-health or substance-use crisis, or concern about someone else. 988 is not a cleanup provider and does not guarantee an in-home response. Call 911 for immediate danger, fire, violence, or a medical emergency.
Protection and safety reporting - Idaho; vulnerable-adult, abuse, neglect, self-neglect, exploitation, and intervention standards apply
Idaho Adult Protective Services
Idaho Adult Protective Services is a protection pathway when a vulnerable adult may be experiencing mistreatment, abuse, neglect, self-neglect, or exploitation. Use it for a genuine protective concern, not as a general cleanup referral. Idaho says to call 911 when the situation is serious, life-threatening, or dangerous; confirm current reporting options and intake rules.

This is crisis care, not cleanup or ongoing organizing. Call 988 or 911 when appropriate and confirm the nearest center before traveling.
Code, occupancy, and property-safety pathway - City of Boise; portal, jurisdiction, notices, mitigation, deadlines, and housing consequences may apply

Housing-crisis hotline, coordinated entry, and homelessness navigation - Ada County; assessment, access-point, and capacity rules apply

The Ada County Housing Crisis Hotline is 208-336-4663.

Women's and Children's Alliance
The WCA provides emergency and transitional shelter, advocacy, case management, and support for people affected by domestic or sexual violence.

Immediate danger and emergency dispatch - Boise; use for fire, medical emergency, violence, or immediate threat
