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.

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?

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?

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.

I love the tiny homes-type shows and seeing how much they can do with just a little space. That’s just one reason I love the idea of tiny homes to help solve the homeless problem. If you feel the same way, you can help! The HRDC is working on a second tiny home build project the next three weekends: July 22-23, July 29-30, and August 5-6...

The Greater Gallatin Homeless Action Coalition (GGHAC), is pleased to present the 8th annual Community Connect event this Saturday, Jan. 30. Community Connect is a FREE, one-stop shop for low-income community members where they can receive services such as wellness exams, dental care, clothing, housing applications, haircuts, and much more!

HRDC's Warming Center for the homeless, which is completely funded by community support, currently has the means to only keep their doors open for about a month. A warm shelter is a basic human right. Give a truly rewarding gift this holiday season. Find out how you can help here.

The Flying Signs Fundraiser is the HRDC Warming Center’s highest profile fundraiser of the year. 40 plus volunteers are needed to help stand on designated corners with Warming Center donation signs and collect money from people in their cars. Each group will meet at the Community Cafe before their 3-4 hour shift on Saturday, October 18.

Family Promise of Gallatin Valley will host the 8th annual Cardboard Box City on Friday, October 3 in Bogert Park. This community education event is a great opportunity to help help build awareness and raise funds for the homeless population in our community.

YouTube prankster Sam Pepper recently posted a quick video that, for me, accomplished its title,  "60 Seconds That Will Change How You Think".
