On behalf of Family Promise of Gallatin Valley, I write to 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. As the Family Promise Board Chair and through my work with unhoused students in the
Bozeman School District, I see the growing need for these services on a daily basis. City investment in this work is
not only a compassionate response—it’s a fiscally responsible one. By preventing homelessness from becoming
chronic, we reduce strain on public systems like healthcare, policing, and education. Most importantly, we uphold
our shared value that all children deserve a safe place to sleep. Thank you for considering this request and for your
continued partnership in ending family homelessness in Gallatin County. We are ready to continue doing our part—
and we hope the City of Bozeman will join us in this vital work.
If you would like to submit additional documents (.pdf, .doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx, .gif, .jpg, .png, .rtf, .txt) along with
your comment, you may alternately address comments@bozeman.net directly to ensure receipt of all
information.
Thank you,
City Of Bozeman
