If you meet HUD (Dept. of Housing and Urban Development) definition of homelessness - sleeping outside or in a place unfit for human inhabitation (also domestic violence and sometimes staying in motel) - then you need to be assessed in Coordinated Entry System:
You can be assessed at the Poverello Center, YWCA, Salvation Army or over the phone with 211
This is the queue for vouchers and rental assistance programs based on vulnerability score
Whether or not a person/family meets HUD definition of homelessness, they have two options:
Seek housing through “usual” means → Identify properties, meet with landlords, fill out applications, etc. A volunteer through the Housing Advocate Network can help them with these tasks, including getting “housing ready”, advocating for them with landlords, helping them to re-learn their story.
Apply for emergency housing or utilize the community’s subsidized housing options, including Section 8 lists (there are two: One at Missoula Housing Authority, one at Human Resource Council).
A participant can do any or all of the above, but should have a good understanding of their strengths and barriers before making these decisions.
Families and individuals experiencing homelessness can visit the YWCA office (1130 W. Broadway Missoula, MT 59802), Monday- Friday, 9am- 5pm, to explore housing options and resources.
Offers info on affordable housing and/or signing up for public housing, rental assistance, and coordinated housing.
