Our first hour was open phones and then we spoke with Jim Hicks from the Hope Rescue Mission.

In late 2020, Missoula's Temporary Safe Outdoor Space (TSOS) began offering people experiencing homelessness a safe space during the pandemic. While United Way of Missoula County, Hope Rescue Mission and Missoula County government set up the space in response to COVID-19, it quickly became a model of how a service-rich environment with a collaborative community built on relationships can help reduce homelessness.The success of the TSOS exemplifies the importance and need for a safe and secure space for people trying to obtain housing. The TSOS, currently located on private land south of Missoula, will soon relocate to a new site off Broadway and Mullan and be furnished with hard-sided shelters that will help make the site more sustainable in the long run. This week, Commissioners Slotnick and Vero spoke with Jim Hicks, executive director of Hope Rescue Mission, who talks about the importance of building relationships to help people find stability in their lives and the future of the TSOS.  Learn more:Updates on Operation ShelterInitial FAQS about the Temporary Safe Outdoor Space Crisis Services Levy "Tip of the Spear" is the ethos that guides our work at Missoula County.
