  1. Missoula County supports SB 65 – Generally revise laws regarding housing options for offenders, on the Senate floor this afternoon, and thanks Senator Woken for sponsoring this legislation. SB 65 seeks to address the issues of housing for offenders; either released from the Department of Corrections or still under their supervision. SB 65 creates a new grant program to assist offenders and local communities with securing housing for inmates returning to communities. Many offenders in local correctional centers are homeless and often have reoffended because they failed to reintegrate into society. Addressing housing concerns will have a direct impact on existing efforts Missoula County has undertaken to address both homelessness and jail overcrowding.
