Ariel Flankey, 28, packs up blankets, clothes, food and other belongings as the city of Missoula carries out a campsite sweep and cleanup of the West Broadway Island, forcing Flankey and other folks experiencing houselessness to remove and relocate their campsites on March 14, 2024. Flankey, who was born and raised in Missoula, had been living at the island since the summer of 2023. She has been experiencing houselessness since 2017, saying high rent prices and the high cost of living has kept her from securing permanent housing.
