Two members of the Missoula City Council on Monday maintained their opposition to a contract between the city and the Poverello Center over the management of the Johnson Street homeless shelter.
While the city and the Poverello Center have turned an eye toward making changes to Missoula's homeless services, keeping the Johnson Street shelter open for another two years remains the top priority – for now.
Faced with the potential of not being able to fund the shelter next September, city leaders and homeless advocates have begun exploring any options that may be available to them next year.
