Dear Bozeman City Commission, I strongly urge the City Commission to fully fund a Right To Counsel program for
tenants in the city Of Bozeman. I served on the Belonging in Bozeman steering committee in my capacity as an
AmeriCorps VISTA last year and helped craft the housing priority areas 1 and 2, pertaining to preventing
homelessness, displacement, and lack of housing affordability. Right to counsel for eviction is an actionable step
towards achieving the city’s own stated goals. Additionally, housing directly affects residents mental and emotional
wellbeing, directly through housing and eviction stress as well as putting pressure on other basic needs affecting
physical and mental health. Preventing eviction is health promotion and is in the best interest of the citizens of
Bozeman as a whole, through helping those most at risk and strengthening the fabric of our community overall.
Sincerely, Sophia Fortunato 4684 Shadowglen Dr, Bozeman, 59718
