Shawna Wright smiles in an undated family photo taken by her late father. Wright was a 62-year-old homeless woman who died in a hot alley in Salt Lake City on July 4, 2021, amid record heat in the Utah capital. Cities around the U.S. and the world are being challenged to keep people who live outside from dying in the streets as the ranks of homeless swell and temperatures fueled by climate change soar. Wright's family may have gone unnoticed if her family had not written a frank obituary blaming the system for failing to better protect homeless people living outside from the extreme heat.
