Officials and community members gathered in downtown Missoula to discuss the ongoing homeless crisis.
On Wednesday morning city officials, law enforcement, Mayor Jordan Hess and leaders from the Poverello Center came together outside of the Missoula County Courthouse to discuss urban camping and shelter shortage in the city.
Jill Bonny with the Poverello Center said that lack of shelter for homeless people is concerning.
“It makes it difficult for there to be any enforcement on people camping because there's not enough shelter beds. And so, unfortunately, when there isn't anywhere for people to go, then there isn't. We shouldn't be, and can't be criminalizing homelessness, which includes people sleeping on the street,” said Bonny.
