Flathead Warming Center Public Comment from Anita LavinDear City Council,
We are writing to encourage you to maintain the conditional use permit for Flathead Warming Center. The need for a low barrier shelter has increased in our community due to a loss of
mental health services and a loss of affordable housing.
The FWC requires all their guests to abide by appropriate behavioral rules and holds them accountable. We have frequently seen other guests work to hold each other accountable. Many
guests have made positive changes in their lives through the support and resources offered by Flathead Warming Center.
We understand and sympathize with the residents living near FWC. However, we urge you to work together with FWC, residents, city police, and others to find a solution that still provides
the necessary help to our homeless neighbors.
Sincerely,
John & Anita Lavin
