    How is poverello center funded

    Justbill asked 5 months ago

    The Poverello Center is an independent, non-profit organization.  The City of Missoula does not oversee the organization's financials.  The City of Missoula and Missoula County have collaborated in recent years to fund the Johnson Street Emergency Shelter, which is operated by the Poverello.  Both the City and County contribute to some local non-profit organizations, including the Poverello.  The bulk of the Poverello's funding is from federal grants and donations from members of the community.  You can learn more about the Poverello Center's financing and programs in their Annual Report.

    Are you still in need of sleeping bags?

    Frosty871 asked over 2 years ago

    Thanks for asking!  The City doesn't directly operate any of the shelters.  The best way to donate is to check with one of our partners below regarding their current needs.

    Is there an application process to get accepted into the TSOS camp?

    callofthevoid406 asked over 2 years ago

    Most of the residents come from referrals from case managers or other service providers. Individuals can call 406-802-4309 or email tsos@hopemontana.org to get on the waiting list.  Interested parties are scheduled an assessment interview to verify if they would be a good fit to reside at the site.  We also have a coordinated entry system that connects folks to all community housing resources via a single point of contact.  You can find out more on our coordinated entry webpage or by calling 211 from any phone.

    What agency is the permit being submitted to? How do you provide opposition comment to the state permitting agency?

    AB asked over 2 years ago

    The Montana Department of Health and Human Services is the regulatory agency for campgrounds.  Their review may take up to 60 days, and this process does not have a public comment period requirement.

    Not really a question, just a comment: When addressing the fence around the proposed camping site on Clark Fork Lane, will the powers that be please evaluate the fence line along the property of the adjacent hybrid poplar tree farm to make sure that it is secure and meets standards to prevent any potential trespassing onto that property. Thank you - Kim McGuire

    tmcguire asked over 2 years ago

    Thank you for your comment, Kim.  I will make sure this gets to the project team, as well as the folks in charge of the tree farm.
