There are two upcoming opportunities to share your voice and contribute to this process. See the attached flyers for more information and help us share these opportunities far and wide with your networks!

Town Hall on Thursday, April 4th between 6:00pm-8:00pm at Missoula Community Theater (200 N Adams St, in the Meeting Room)

All Missoula community members are welcome! The town hall will be an interactive forum to gather community priorities and discuss existing and future strategies to respond to houselessness in our area. Join us to learn about Missoula’s houseless response system, share your experiences and expertise, and participate in community-wide strategy development. The event will include presentations starting every 30 minutes, local experts who can help answer your questions, and activity stations to share your ideas and vote on best practices and strategies. Come and go as it fits your schedule! To have enough snacks and resources for everyone, we encourage you to email missoulastrategy@homebaseccc.org if you plan to attend.
