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.
