Dear City Commissioners,
I am writing to request your support for our grant request for Family Promise at Gallatin
Valley. This grant seeks the necessary funding to establish emergency service rooms for
families experiencing homelessness in our community. As you are aware, the growing
need for accessible emergency services has placed immense pressure on local shelters
and medical facilities. Without this funding, many vulnerable parents and children will
continue to struggle and be unhoused, enduring the harsh environment that Montana is
well known for with nowhere to turn.
By approving this grant, you are taking a tangible step toward ensuring that our city
provides humane, and effective solutions for those parents and children in crisis. These
emergency service rooms will not only save lives but also reduce strain on emergency
responders and healthcare systems. It will foster a safer and more compassionate
community for all by taking many families off the street and ensuring the ability to
stabilize their life in a home.
I strongly encourage you to prioritize this grant application and demonstrate our city’s
desire and commitment to addressing homelessness with real, impactful action.
Thank you for your time and leadership on this crucial issue.
