Backpack Bill talks with Indian Sally, his girlfriend, outside of the Parish Kitchen in Covington. Sally is also homeless and sometimes stays with Bill at his camp along the river. Other times she sleeps on couches at friends' apartments in Covington. Some of the homeless have moved into apartments which are subsidized by the Federal government as Section 8 housing.
