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. Last fiscal year alone, Family Promise served over 391 families, marking a staggering
1017% increase since 2019. The need is urgent and growing. 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
