b'Troy says he\\u2019s been in Reno since 2006 and without stable shelter for the past three years. He says he used to be a carpenter who helped build houses, but his disabilities have made it impossible for him to pursue that line of work anymore. One of his prized possessions is a small solar panel he uses to charge his phone. He avoids shelters, he says, because he doesn\\u2019t want to be told when to wake up, and also likes to stay with his girlfriend and a dog he\\u2019s been taking care of he calls Squeaker.
