Good Morning.
Leadership from HRDC, Haven, and Family Promise wish to support the five-year goals
established to address housing and community development needs in Bozeman in the
Consolidated Plan for 2025 to 2029, including:
1. Increase, protect, and preserve affordable rental and homeownership housing
opportunities by improving access to a diverse set of affordable housing, including, but not
limited to, naturally occurring affordable housing, supportive housing for seniors andresidents with disabilities, and accessible housing.
2. Improve housing stability for individuals and households with critical needs, including
persons experiencing or at risk of homelessness, by providing appropriate housing and
service solutions grounded in Housing First approaches, including, but not limited to,emergency shelter, transitional housing, and other supportive services.
3. Improve community services by addressing critical needs and promoting equity through
improved or increased access to community programming, including, but not limited to,
mental health services, chemical dependency services, and affordable and availablechildcare.
Further, the three organizations hope that the City will adopt the following strategy to
address goal number 2: first, focus on collaborating with the municipalities across Gallatin
County to meet the immediate funding needs for shelter and transitional housing
sustainably; second, work with the faith community and other partners to develop safe
parking programming for individuals and families for whom emergency shelter, transitional
housing, or communal living is not an option; third, invest in an effective modeling platform
to project the emergency, transitional and supportive housing needs for the region over thenext five to ten years, and fourth, adopt and invest in a proven community-driven strategy to
address those needs (i.e. Built For Zero).
