  The Houseless Programs Team in Community Planning, Development, and Innovation is excited to host a community event at Burns St Bistro on April 5 at 6:00 p.m. to share the completed Evaluation of Reaching Home: Missoula’s 10-Year Plan to End Homelessness directly with community members interested in learning more. We are also holding a virtual event on Microsoft Teams on April 11 at 1 p.m. for those who cannot attend in person. The evaluation was completed by JG Research and Evaluation (JGRE) and final products include a full-length version, a quick look version, and an infographic. Huge thanks to everyone who took time to interview, complete a survey, or join a focus group, especially those who bravely shared their personal experiences of being unhoused or at risk of losing their housing. You can also watch a recording of the presentation of evaluation findings to City Council.
