MISSOULA â With increasing use of the emergency winter shelter on Johnson Street, the Missoula City Council on Monday night unanimously approved the allocation of $450,000 in grants to the Poverello Center for shelter services.
More than $365,000 of the funds came from community development COVID grants the city received to put to use for services responding to the pandemic. The rest came from leftover funds from a grant meant to help provide a suitable living environment for low- and moderate-income people.
