Missoula council hears discontent around affordable housing crisis
May 19, 2021/
Missoulians’ simmering discontent over the ongoing affordable housing crisis took center stage at Monday night’s City Council meeting, with concerns voiced about problems with rent, landlords and lack of attainable shelter.
Nine different community members spoke at the beginning of the meeting, with nearly all of them saying they or someone they knew well had been forced out of housing, either due to rent increases or property changes by a landlord.
“The housing crisis is doing one of two things to our renting population,” said Kenzie Carter, Missoula field manager of Forward Montana, at the meeting.
