Homeless

Over the last few years, the homeless problem in Bozeman has been a growing issue and now the city has passed a new ordinance regarding the issue.

Hats off to Missoula City Councilwoman Sandy Vasecka. She's been the lone voice in the wilderness for quite some time now on the transient crisis in Missoula.

First Lewistown...now your town? We got an update from a couple Montana lawmakers on Monday morning. We wanted to hear the latest when it comes to a proposed warming shelter (homeless shelter) in Lewistown, Montana.

If you build it, they will come. Is the small town of Lewistown, Montana looking to build a homeless shelter similar to what has taken place in towns like Missoula and Kalispell? Apparently so. And the Mayor of Kalispell is cautioning Fergus County residents.

As the problem escalates and the debate continues about 'urban camping' across Montana, it's not very often that you can get a bird's eye view of how out of hand it's getting. How many people are squatting or 'camping' on public streets?

When I first saw this photo of the free camping sign on the RV in Bozeman, Montana- I thought it was just some meme that somebody created for the Internet. Nope, it was actually parked in Bozeman, and it was meant to deliver a very important point.

"The house, formerly the Josephine Bed and Breakfast, has been renovated to accommodate Love and SONshine’s clients—homeless teenage moms and their new babies."

Winter can be totally brutal in Montana, and even more so for those that are living in less than ideal conditions.

The "Urban Camping" issue continues to grow across Montana, with places like Bozeman and Missoula seeing more folks taking to the streets. What's the solution?

NBC Montana shared this crazy update about the transient crisis in Missoula, Montana...and the comments are GOLD.
