“Miss” Mary, 69, says she was kicked out of the Cares Campus shelter in Reno, and that she currently has no ID or birth certificate. She sleeps by railroad tracks and she struggles with alcohol but says she’s quit other drugs. She is trying to find a roommate, as she gets Social Security money, but not enough to cover housing expenses herself. The reporter for this episode is Aimee Arellano.
