Homeless

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.

When I saw the headline- Bozeman Local Shares Truth About Urban Campers in New Viral Video- I almost didn't click on the story. Turns out it wasn't just any Bozeman local- it was Montana State Bobcat football great Dane Fletcher. He used to play for the New England Patriots, but he's obviously still an American patriot who loves his country and fears for his town.

For the last couple of years "urban campers" have become popular in Bozeman and now there is an ordinance on the table to do something about it.

After a homeless man murdered a local gym manager in Kalispell, did the media attack the homeless advocates in the Flathead Valley? Did the media attack the politicians who oppose cracking down on the transients threatening local residents?

Am I in Portland? What did I just see? We were driving down Broadway near downtown Missoula when I spotted the tent city right next to the street.

With the warmer weather, Montana is seeing an increase in pop-up neighborhoods in some of the states bigger cities. Should something be done about this?

Winter has arrived in Montana and with it sub-zero temps and several inches of snowfall. How does that affect those without homes or sufficient shelter?

Missoula is certainly not the only Montana city that has struggled with homelessness issues, but its Reserve St. bridge problems have been some of the most well-known.

When I saw the photo below showing security inside of a homeless camp, I thought it was a photo from Portland, Oregon. Nope. That's not Portland, it's Missoula, Montana. Check out the photo below of the armed, masked men dressed mostly in dark clothing...
