The City of Missoula and Missoula County will hold an educational open house for the Missoula County crisis services levy from 3 to 6 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 13, at the Missoula Fire Station #4 at 3011 Latimer Street.
The first half-hour will feature a press conference. Speakers include Mayor Jordan Hess; John Petroff, operations manager for the Mobile Support Team based at the Missoula Fire Department; Theresa Williams, Crisis Intervention Team program manager; Lt. Ben Slater, Missoula Police Department; and Clair Bopp, shelter manager for the Poverello Center.
Representatives from programs that support people in crisis and would benefit from the levy will be available for one-on-one conversations and to answer questions at tables throughout the fire station. The public is invited.
The Missoula County commissioners voted on Aug. 4 to put the crisis services levy on the ballot for the November general election. Funds from the levy would pay for services to support people in crisis, including services addressing mental health, addiction and homelessness, as well as programs to advance criminal justice system reforms.
