Dear Mayor and Commissioners,I am writing this letter with a plea for you to approve the housing allocation of $400,000 for the purchaseof the Montana Bible College to serve the Family Promise of Gallatin Valley in order to provide safehousing for vulnerable families. My husband was a resident of Bozeman throughout his childhood andduring his undergraduate studies at Montana State University. It has eased my loss of him two years agoto be able to make donations to that wonderful organization. We were and I am a resident of Milwaukee,which suffers from the terrible indignities of homelessness. The book " Eviction" by Matthew Desmond,discusses the destituteness of this state for families and especially children. I was a teacher for fourteenyears for several children, who were victims of this terrible condition. Please consider making thisdonation to ensure safety and care to the residents of your beautiful area. I send you my thanks inmemory of my husband and with my sincere hope of receiving the allocation.Edythe Bell
