Bozeman City Commissioners:
Please support the fund the safety improvements necessary for the Warming Center's newlocation on Wheat Drive. The action proposes a grant to fund up to $296,520 out of the
Workforce Housing Fund for the required improvements for a larger Warming Center location.This has been recommended to fund in full by the Director of Community Development's office
and Community Affordable Housing Advisory Board (CAHAB). This would allow the Warming Center to serve up to 120 unique individuals as an interim location
to help bridge the gap of need until the year-round facility is opened (projected to open Nov2021).The new location on Wheat Drive would not only have an increased capacity so we would
not have to utilize 2 locations, but would also increase ability for showers, laundry, basic hygieneneeds, and test simultaneous day center services and a longer season (both community
support/funding dependent).
Thank you for your consideration
Laurie Thatcher
