As a resident of the City of Bozeman, I am writing to you on behalf of Family Promise of Gallatin Valley. I urge your
support for our funding request of $120,000 from the City of Bozeman to sustain the operations of our family
emergency shelter rooms—a critical service for families in crisis in our community. Last fiscal year alone, Family
Promise served over 391 families, marking a staggering 1017% increase since 2019. The need is urgent, and
growing. Housing costs in Gallatin County are now 62% higher than the national average, with average monthly rent
exceeding $2,300. In contrast, the average family we serve nets only about $2,400 per month—leaving roughly $100
for all other necessities like food, transportation, and utilities. This gap leaves too many parents and children on the
brink—or in the reality—of homelessness. Thank you.

your comment, you may alternately address comments@bozeman.net directly to ensure receipt of all
information.
Thank you,
City Of Bozeman
