Homelessness


Homelessness is Missoula

In 2010, Missoula conducted a Homelessness and Housing Instability in Missoula Needs Assessment to gain accurate and important information on the homeless population of Missoula.

The findings can be found on the City of Missoula’s website. http://www.ci.missoula.mt.us/index.aspx?NID=1063

Check out the 2010 Homeless Survey for Montana for the most up to date statistics. http://mthomeless.org

Finding Solutions to Homelessness

The major causes of homelessness in the United States include a lack of affordable rental housing, rising rates of poverty, eroding job opportunities, diminishing access to healthcare services (especially treatment for mental illness and addiction disorders), and declines in public assistance – now exacerbated by the escalating costs of childcare, gas, food, and electricity.
